Alpinebikes MTBs..?

I used to lust after them back in the early 1990s. Never bought one though.

If memory serves they had lots of problems with frames cracking, presumably due to aluminium being in it's infancy in bike usage then. However, I'd guess the cromoly, i.e. steel. version would be far less likely to suffer from this.

Yeah, I read that about the cracking as well.. the cro-mag seems to be the steel version, so I'm hoping to get by..
Thanks for the links, Andy and Dan, appreciate it! Looks like I'll be building that thing up after all, since it seems to be a somewhat "cult" 90s bike..
