no slacking!! (2000's mtbs)

This is a thread for mountain bikes from the pre-progressive era, where 50mm stems and 800mm bars were not within our collective conscience, where bars were narrow enough to fit in your doorway and your bike didn't rival your cars wheelbase.

now i've met many, many lovely people over my time on the forum who have this either tucked away in their shed or riding them proudly every day - they look fucking sweet - would love some photos to save to my nice bikes folder and inspire with my own build

some outline

• Absolutely no progressive head angles
  
• There must be at least one form of suspension
  
• No "HaRdCoRe HaRdTaIls"
  
• Long stems B)))
  
• 26' // 27.5 // early 29ers it's all good
  
• Drive sides, old videos, pictures of you/others riding
  
• Readers rides heavily encouraged
  
• 2x drive trains would be good to see, 3x would get further nods
  
• Also interested in seeing peoples trailside drip in this era
