The original (well, technically that's not so) project bike of the fleet (there was some odd white bike that preceded this but it only ran a few days.) It has now been rebuilt 4 times, starting with the original build-up after finding the thing in the basement of Spokes & Pedals around 1997. The tires had about turned to dust and it didn't look like much. I basically yanked all the 15 speed Suntour stuff (junk today but it was the first commonly available mountain bike drivetrain) and set it up with a hodge-podge 18 speed setup. It eventually gained enough quality parts until I got a Specialized Ground Control - and all the goodies went to it. So, I started over again. By the time it was a fine machine once again I got my hands on a Gary Fisher Big Sur. Rebuild #3 was upon us. September 2005 I got another Specialized Rockhopper Comp FS frame and I did it again. This time I used some old chainrings that once graced my Cadex.
