Here's my current MTB and a 90's MTB I used to have. The dispute going on in this thread is ridiculous - the only thing that was objectively 'better' about older mountain bikes is that they were easier to repurpose as hybrid bikes for non-trail riding if you wanted to. I can't romanticize older mountain bikes because I remember what it's like to get thrown over the bars easily or to have hand cramps from trying to brake on long downhill runs.
