I want that Ritchey, or the Fat!
-
Rode a super v back in those days and enjoyed every second of it! Got me hooked on cannondales for the next 20 years!
-
Aww now i really miss my Old San Andreas 😢
-
Still have my Ritchey P21 with the native fork XT components. Only steel bike I've ever seen that you couldn't see the weld marks.
-
i have ' em all!
-
team marin ?
-
Missing the Klein Attitude team USA 1991/92 in Dolomite Colors.

The GT triangle frame is a icon of the era, but a Ti frame and component company in the East won the Ti. bike shoot outs in Mountain Bike Action in the early and mid 90's.
That company was Nuke Proof. I worked there at the time, and I believe, judging from the stuff I have seen on line, I may have the most complete Nuke Proof Ti. bike in existence.
They did not have the big race teams of the big factories, and only a hand full of employees, but if there is a Mountain bike museum, I am sure the owner would have my bike over the GT Ti. bike.
May be lay those "shoot out" articles along side of it.
The old ower of Nuke Proof now owns a bike company called "616" in the same Grand Rapids, Michigan area, ("616" phone area code). -
Too many failed suspension concepts on this list..
Pace, M2, Klein and Cunningham are all glaring omissions. -
That Ritchey Frame really deserves it's name on the list.

I had a 98' GT Xizang 19" with Rock Shox SID Race Ti and XTR m950 components. One of the best bikes I'd ever had ridden on. I still have a 92' Fat Chance Yo Eddy and also their 10th Anniversary. Both build up with parts from this time period. These bikes are iconic. Another bike in this top ten ranking that I'd owned once is the Manitou FS. I had a 1994 Manitou FS 3 with blue anodized Ringle, Grafton and Cook Bros parts. But the frame later had an hairline crack under the seat clamp near the weld. So it was no longer save to drive with and a repair was too expensive and risky. The tubing in this frame section was very thin.

what about the stab deelux?
the nitanium rockhopper?
the saracen havoc? -
I recently aquired my '96 M2 race frame. Best bike ever. Can't wait to biuld it up the way I would've if I actually owned it back then.
-
No Klein attitude?
-
You forgot the 1994-1996 Turner Burner. You also had the voice-over done by a guy who can't pronounce the letter T.
-
No Jamis Dakar? It was one of the first FS bikes that aren't shit and are available to a average customer. I had two and I liked them quite a lot for a winter bike.
-
omg is that you Martyn Ashton?
-
Thank god for visionary engineers. Without you guys we would still be riding pieces of shit like these bikes!

The double diamond classic design is very pretty. I find this design of MTB the best all around bicycle design. Nowadays people commute a lot on road bikes, but look at Al filo de lo impossible - rodando por ti or search for the video 90's MTB masters (1992). They ride this kind of design and it fits perfectly for the commute use.
I had myself to make my way through a sidewalk full of grass and rocks because the street was to busy, I could not do that on a road bike.
