who rides older mtn bikes

Let us all know if you ride an older mt bike, like anything maybe from the 1990's and earlier as your primary mt bike riding.

Tell us why you like it or ride it and what you have.

Fors starters 1992 specialized Rockhopper, with a Rock Shox quad 21 fork

and i have a 1996 Maxam Lightweight heavy weight,
Shimano XT components
and Manitou fork from 2003.

Reason i have not got new ones.
As these are still in good shape. Plus i have 3 bikes already, so a forth one would take up space.
frame size is perfect

plus really, can't really sell an old bike, even if they are in good shape for anything worthwhile.

Who is going to pay 400 bucks for a bike 20 years old when u can brand new one for less etc.

So like to hear from all of you out there. What your older rides are and the story.

oh ya the rockhopper is my first serious bike i bought when i was in high school
so lots of good memories on that one.
