Thanks. I know I spent way too much in upgrades, but it's finally where I want it to be.

By 'no name' do you mean there now isnt one, or do you really not know the brand/manufacturer? Just curious because its a nice looking(well thought out) rigid frame.
It's a Motiv Rockpoint II, size Medium (19 inch). I bought it from Costco way back in the late 80s or early 90s (can't remember the exact year that I bought it). I removed the stickers for cleaner look. It was my first MTB, so for sentimental reasons I can't seem to part with it. The frame and fork is 4130 chromoly. The bike fits me well, and the ride is quite plush.
I took it out for a quick 15 mile ride that includes singletrack and road/bike path. Even with the semi-slicks, it handled well even after the rains. And I am really enjoying the butterfly bars.
