+1 Early MTBs were often lugged. My 1992 Trek 950 has a sweet lugged frame, while my 1994 Trek 950 does not. Lower end MTBs were less likely to be lugged, and almost anything newer than the early 1990s is not lugged.
I am pretty partial to lugged steel: 2003 Colnago Master Light (lugged steel), 1995 Giant Kronos (lugged steel), 1992 Trek 950 (lugged steel), 1987 Miyata 215ST (lugged steel), 1986 Basso (lugged steel), 1984 Lotus Classique (lugged steel), 1984 Centurion Lemans 12 mixte (lugged steel).
The only non-lugged bikes in the keeper fleet are my wife's Trek 950 and her Giant hybrid.
I think I see a pattern....
