>>1155905>>1155907>>1155911> Is a Cannondale that good?90'S mountain bikes have terrible terrible geometry. I was there. I rode them. Prove me wrong. Alot of them the rider is positioned over the top tube like a road bike. It was only when shaun palmer pushed the MX influence of relaxed geometry, sloped top tubes, shorter stems and riser bars did mountain bikes get gud.
Also i owned a Super V in the early 00's and you kids just dont know what you are getting yourself into with those headshocks. They ran on this this giant stack of needle bearings that were an expensive nightmare to service, resulting in them not getting serviced at all. Have no idea what state they would be in today.
The 90's mtb /n/ meme applies to well made name brand rigids that you get for close to free and ride on. Paying for big bucks for a depreciated worn out complex maintenance intensive piece of metalurgy does not make sense.
Disclaimer: I own a DAT walkman and Lancia Delta. I know of mans folly.
