Finding or building a 90s pro XC MTB to race on. What bikes should be short listed?

[sefton1275gt]

I'm thinking of building or buying a retro XC pro bike replica to do some local XC races on this summer.

What bikes should be on my list?

I was thinking about finding and uploading all the world champ bikes of the 90s together with their spec.



Cheers

You want to collect all the early 90's MBUK that had a two page spread on works bikes each month. Some lovely options there.

If I were to to this I would be interested in a replica of Ned Overend's Specialized M2 Epic or a Juli Furtado GT Zaskar. There are several others that I would find interesting. Some of it comes down to the budget.
