If you are interested in this bike you really should read this article by Richard Cunningham of Pink Bike who did an expose on this very machine. I can't post links on eBay but search on the internet "Pink Bike Mountain Cycle San Andreas" and it should pop right up.
This bike is pretty rad historically and does have some things to talk about. The original front shock was swapped out to a FOX shock. The stem has a crack in it. The rear brake needs a bleed since it's causing the caliper to drag quite a bit. I'm not totally sure but I think the hydraulic fluid is DOT fluid since it seems to have expanded so a flush should solve that. Once that stem get's swapped and the brakes bled it should be ready to ride with normal tune up stuff as well. There aren't that many of these left and even fewer that don't have dents in the monocoque frame so this one is pretty special. Plus being a pro owned bike adds some provenance. I kept all the original stickers from when I bought it. The frame is a medium size.
