Too many fixie-fixie, band wagon jumping newjacks on the web with no appreciation of where stuff was at 10, 15, 20 years ago. I would have stabbed someone for a chance to own this bike in 1993 and if it was a bit more period complete it would be porn.

And before anyone points out that it isn't going to work that well, compared to modern full suspension MTBs, I'd like people to reflect on the practicality of some of the lo pros they've been drooling over in this thread.

Yeah I was thinking when I saw that - is that an air shock? triple bad ass that would've been! I remember almost talking my dad into buying one of these 2nd hadnd back in the day
