Current pic of my '02. 

Regrettably sold it complete on eGay in 2006.  Resourced everything a second time around and rebuilt it.  This is the way it looked in 2002,  and the way it sits today.  Learned my lesson, won't ever sell it again.

stoked fbm is doing this one again.  hell of a revival! 

i'm not really digging the looks of the ass end of it though.  the diameter of the stays look too small for the toptube junction.  wish they would of used a bit bigger tubing... would look more proportionate.

even so, iconic frame and re-release.

i went through a 3 year 'collecting' stint from 2010-2013.  collected all the parts/frames i couldn't afford and wanted at one time or another.  the shit i drooled over in the catalogs. era would be '98 to 2004ish.

i came to my senses and sold mostly everything that i collected and put the money back into my riders.  i do swap frames quite a bit still, but have a 1 in, 1 out rule. i kept some of the cool smaller parts though... barends, stems, seats.

i do have a barcode i rebuilt exactly the way it was in 2002.  mainly for beer drinking nostalgia reasons...  it sits and collect dust in the basement which is fine with me.
