Pretty sure 90’s mtb was a clusterfuck for sizing; narrow bars and long stems and loads of change around the threadless headset revolution. Good luck.

Every few weeks for the past quarter of a century, somebody has come along and told us that they have solved all our problems forever, when what they have actually done is, at best, optimised their compromises for their personal problems on one route as of the previous week.

What's up with 90s MTB geo?
Looking at an 18" ST (for people 5'6 to 6'0 acc to the chart) - seems odd to go as low as 5'6 for a frame with 58.5cm ETT and 110mm stem.
Is there some sort of geo trickery going on, or were people just buying much more stretched out race geo frames back then?
