Thanks, Jim. That's pretty interesting. And not to question the seller of the mountain bike (who I know is a list member), but the old Gen 1 catalog excerpts you have posted leads me to think that perhaps the bike on ebay was actually an early "All-Rounder." Here's a link to a set of photos I just found of a bike that looks suspiciously like the mountain bike in question, though it's newer. Some nice pics here, which is I guess what we were looking for:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/drboxer/sets/72157616020239173/ If the ebay bike was indeed an all-rounder, that would mean it had a lower bottom bracket and steeper head tube, based on this Gen 1 catalog. The good news (for me), if that's the case, is that I'm probably lucky I didn't win the auction. I have a 55cm XO-1 that's a bit too small, and is what I was hoping to replace - but it would have been too similar. The bad news is that I'm now left lusting to find a used, early, 26" All-Rounder in a LARGER size, that I wasn't even aware existed until a few minutes ago....
