I had one of these back in the day for XC. It was so light and pedalled great. The seat mast/shock mount on mine cracked and bent twice so i moved on after the 2nd warranty. I can see the frame you have is beefed up by not having the cutouts on the mast. Really cool build.

It's easy to forget just how much the MRP alone weighs compared to modern guides. Plus the D321s and DX SPDs add a fair chunk. Still surprised its not lighter though.

It's crazy how short the wheelbase looks compared to modern bikes. It's tiny!

Such a Rad build and period correct.  Even the light gray color

Love it! Congrats! Rims are D521, by the way.

Pretty sure Lopes ran a road cassette heavily modified by @Stiksandstones  I'll still never forget the one off, custom framed blue i-Drive @Eric Carter had built up for the dual slalom at Mt. Snow NORBA National.  It was leaning against the EMT building in the village & I must have stared at & drooled over that thing for 10 minutes not touching it or stepping too close. That is the first really well executed, cleanly dual slalom only race bikes yet.  Want to say the very next year, Foes & Turner both debuted 4" travel dual bikes at Mt. Snow.  I know Todd LeDuc raced the Foes. Maybe Colin Bailey & Kirkcaldie were the first on the Turner Rail. 
I'm pretty sure @Eric Carter and that i-Drive spawned the full sus Dual Slalom/Dual/4Cross market.
