I almost didn't open this article for fear of having to look at those pivots ever again, but alas, another excellent min-maxing.
That generation of Altitude (and other models) was, and as you've shown still is, a great bike. But those pivots... oh man.
Also, is that chainstay original? I saw more than a fair share (mine included) of cracked/broken examples pass through my local bike shop via warranty.
