rode everything on it, expeditions into the malaysian highlands,
street, trials, downhill, xc... Took a lot of abuse but flared the
headtube eventuallySame here - I've a great nostalgia for my early 90's XC bike - Used for everything from cycle-touring, commuting through to Dirt Jumping, SuperG etc - It ended up in a skip in '99 after a particularly bad DH crash in somerset and was replaced with a proper DH rig
Happy days 90's MTBing: Quality engineering, looney riding and rave culture colliding most merrily.
Here's my 90's custom steel in long-distance mode.

I used to have a red hard rock (couldn't afford te rock hopper) with manitou sxr (I think) crud catcher, DCD, XT v brakes and "v brake booster" plate on the back, rode everything on it, expeditions into the malaysian highlands, street, trials, downhill, xc... Took a lot of abuse but flared the headtube eventually, then got a p3 which was a beast. Still got the red spesh frame in the shed like, on my list of build "to dos"... Would love an oldie like yours though.
