Yeah. And I don't believe the LHT was even introduced in the 90s.

OP: None of those bikes you mention wil have "ultra high" spoke counts unless they were fitted with custom wheels. 36 max. Ultra high would be something like 40 or 48.

And I thought you didn't have any money except store credit at Sears.
