lugged MTBs?

Does anyone know what, if any, early MTBs--aside from Bridgestones--were made with lugs?

I ask because, as a small rider (just barely 5' 2") and a fellow admirer of vintage steel bikes, I've come to the sad realization that I really am just too short for most of the road bikes I love. I'll continue to ride my beloved Little Japanese Roadie (Univega, circa 1984, 48? 50cm? frame), but I must admit that although I can reach the drops, I can't stand over it comfortably. So I'm looking into other affordable options for vintage bikes that will fit me better, and I'm thinking that means 26" wheels. Someday perhaps I'll be able to afford some 650B wheels for the Little Japanese Roadie, but until that day, I'm keeping an eye out...
