Wow, there are some real C&V MTB fans here! Alas I can't include myself in that number although I have the '94 Parkpre Pro 825 pictured below. When I ride my vintage road bikes I'm usually by myself or on a casual ride with friends so the technological advances of the last quarter century don't matter so much. For MUP or fire roads I take the Peugeot UO8 with cross tires. When I hit the real single track it's usually with friends who are all on the latest and greatest stuff and I need all the help I can get to keep up (somehow it seems most of them are 10 years or so younger than me and the ones who aren't have mad skills so...). Anyway, here's my sole entry (my other MTB is a 2000 Marin dual-suspension with mostly XT kit and a SID fork):
