I love how this bike turned out. I love the blacked out paint and the polished fork. In the disassembly of the bike I wanted to try and restore the Judy XC fork but it was too far gone (I spent a few days trying to restore it without success). That said, I am totally stoked on how well the Answer Manitou EFC fork turned out after rebuilding and polishing it. I was surprised how light of a fork it is and how well, after 24 years it is still working well. Also, it was fun to put a 1x10 drivetrain on this bike using a used XT shadow plus rear derailleur.
