There are videos on youtube of people comparing modern (carbon/ full squish) bikes to older hardtails (riding the same trails/lines/etc) and the verdict is that they work but kinda suck in comparison. Any of course they get the job done, people have been throwing them around for decades but it all boils down to how 'gnarnly' you plan on getting. My Evil the Calling inspires muuuuch more confidence than my Litespeed Obed equipped with period correct parts.

This maybe an odd question but does anyone on here use their retro MTB in it's intended use? I'm wondering how well something from the 90's holds up now and whether its viable to use a retro mountain bike instead of buying something more modern.
