Are these full or rear suspension bikes, with 26" wheels? I think a lot of the demand for vintage 90's mountain bikes is the combination of gravel conversions and/or wanting to do more underbiking on trails.....a 10 year old mountain bike as none of the charm of a vintage bike, and none of the tech of new mountain bikes.
