I still feel new to the BotM party, but liked my first, so here is another Steelfightsback rider
mcada`s 1994 Wilderness Trail Bikes Phoenix SE - all things WTB, Specialized & M900 with the recent (personal) highlight, a Potts stem matching frame and fork paint scheme


more details on my fav rider can be found here: https://www.steelfightsback.com/wtb/phoenix-se-1994-18inch/
Best,
Matthias

OK here goes..
Yakboy's 1992 Scott Super Evolution , original paint with as many period Scott parts as I could muster.

Love that fork @yakboy. How does it ride?

Better than you would expect and I haven't had to change the elastomers, they are still bouncing well

Really nice. Off to check out the build thread. I'd love a little first year Zaskar, with the full Triple Trak Plus package

Off to a great start this month!

I had a Scott Unishock back in the day.
I always like that it didn't have a crown fork.
Although, mine was an aftermaket with I think springs, not elastomers.
Kinda rode like a pogo stick...
