Maybe just a few tweaks to the geometry needed but then you're good to go

I remember when that came out and lusting over it. Now, not so much...

That top tube looks pretty narrow.
Looks like it would chop you in half if you fell on it.

I think it looks amazing 😀
Love that frame.

He needs a bit of training in how to write a good listing title though.
"Mountain bike" seriously...

Yeah, but it's not, he's selling all the tooling to make the frames. Wonder if you even get a bike with it? (it doesn't say so) anyone buyer who looks at the pics and skims the text is going to be mighty disapponted when a truck full of steel moulds turns up!

I remember reading the review he mentions (probably still have it). It's a shame that they didn't go into production (although I would never have been able to afford one).

How the hell did I miss that one in WMTB when it came out...?

Fair play to him for giving it a go, but geo and features look dated even by 2001's standards!

Could make an interesting FS gravel bike with minimal changes.
