i wanted one. bad. but i couldn't stretch to the price on a Fat City - they were way more than i could afford at 15. i saved for a year to buy my Trek, and bought the best frame i could get; i bought a 1990 930 - which had the same tubing and lug set as the more expensive 950 and 970, but SunTour X-1 components. it was the least expensive "good" Trek mountain bike at the time, with a minimum amount of house-brand components.

of course, what i really wanted at the time was a Stumpjumper - 'cause that's what Ned rode...

again, being 15 (and spending my own money), i didn't have the dough...
