Bollocks. It's always easy to call bullshit on peoples posts on forums and say that they don't know what they're talking about, but this post really makes me wonder what could lead anyone to say what you just said, other than a grave lack of knowledge.
Upon close inspection you'll find these bikes are kitted out with the very best, most expensive and most desirable and exotic components from their era: Ringlé, Cook Bros, Syncros, Shimano XTR, Nuke Proof, full Campagnolo mountainbike gruppos etc, they are all present.

all of which rides like crap. You'd take a long cage XTR on ANY bike nowadays? People who had any idea what they are doing wouuld use two inner rings, and a road cassettes with a 105 short cage deraileur on their MTB bikes to avoid such chain dropping sloppy crap. and ringle was a joke. nukeprook symbolized people with too much money. In fact, so did Klein all together.

you don't wanna have this argument. thats all i'm gonna say.
