Yeah I realise that it's just the nostalgia that makes them appealing.
My current dh bike wheelbase is loooong and I notice the difference in straight line speed and stability even against my slightly shorter wheelbase enduro bike. So going back to something as short as the racelink just wouldn't feel right.The Tora is cool as fuck. No plans to replace my current dh frame any time soon but when I do I think the Tora will be high on the list.

Racelink is overrated, people froth on them but there was far better bikes out at the time and it'll certainly not be a patch on modern dh bikes. Tora will probs ride a bit better as its got better geo.
