That’s nice. I had a ‘96. It was my first MTB with a front shock and v brakes. I was in heaven! Mine was green with an LX group. I bought it in DC and 6-7 years later I left it sitting in my front porch in Richmond for 15 minutes and someone took it.

I never leave my nice bikes out. Once a long ride is finished, they are going back to the garage or the cellar

Nice. back in 97, some buddies convinced me to join them in a 24 hour mountain bike race. I bought a red Hoo Koo. I don't have the triple butted sticker; I wonder if they had changed by then.
I'm going in a slightly different direction with my rebuild. The Hoo Koo will be a rolling lab experiment.
Have fun with your build.
