First mtb was an Emelle, steel everything, dizzy heights of 15 gears.
Bought my first proper one in 1997, a Saracen LE, a spendy for then £325 for a rigid 7005 Alu frame with a steel fork, 21 gears, the LE tag, or limited edition i concluded back then equated to Saracen have a stock take on parts in the warehouse and knocking up the LE's to use stock :)
Can't find a photo but found the catalogue on Retrobike :)
