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.
Depends on what you want to do with it. Modern kit - both the racy stuff and the rad stuff - is light years ahead if you want to push yourself. If you just want to bimble around the woods with your mates and only get 1" or 2" off the ground early 2000s kit is plenty.

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.
