I've ridden some old Klein's. They may be technologically less developed, but that doesn't fucking matter, they were still great to ride. Essentially there's not much different between those old machines and modern xc hardtails.

And they look great!

apart from disk brakes that stop you, forks that have proper rebound damping that really works (not a piece of elastomer) and doesn't need rebuilding after every ride, tyres made with modern rubber compounds and treads, tubeless, stiff and light components that don't break and most importantly sorted geometry not arse in the air roadie style.
they don't weigh a ton either.

old mtb's are shite compared to what's available today.
