Yes it is a really nice riding bike. The fellow I bought it from was letting his son ride it and it got the rear wheel bent out of shape and the plastic bits in the Altus brakes broke so I think it was parked for many years. I'm also surprised how the Avenir suspension seat post works so well. It feels tight and stiff but moves smoothly. I had the bars on a Giant ATX once so I knew I would like them. The Hiland branded stem was an Amazon purchase which also fit nicely. The 2016 ATX was not vintage, but served well as a travel bike for our camper van.
