Do you remember anything you didn't really like about it?
At my first national on this bike, I remember crashing and putting a pretty big ding in the down tube. I didn't like that i had ruined the paint job and downtube

Looking back on it, is there anything about the bike that seems unbelievable or really strange? Are you ever like, "how did I ride that setup?"
This bike was so quiet and handled so well. The eccentric at that time was pretty unbelievable. My poor dad had to service this so much though! I did to teach myself to ride bit more over the back after the Mongoose. I think this is why my style is quite over the back to this day.

Any fond memories or good stories that are attached to this bike?
Yeah, many memories. I won the Elite National title at home as a Junior. I raced my first World Cup as a Junior on it at Lets Gets, too.
