Another little discussed element of the 80s/90s mtb is the variety, everyone assumes they're all rigid steel framed 7 speed with slight variation in geometry. Not so.
Rigid, hardtail, full suspension, 26'', 650b, 26/24 mullets, 6 speed, 7 speed, 8 speed, 9 speed, steel, aluminium, carbon, titanium, magnesium, combinations of those, slack geometry, progressive geometry - the list goes on.
