First MTB's

Post MTB's

peugeot Anaconda with original GS200 GS c1990

then a peugeot Magnum LX c1991

then a good one, a Marin 93 Eldridge Grade - my love :)

I then had at least two bikes at any one time with the Marin I had a second daily ride of a 92 GT Karokaram.. then a replaced that with a 94 Marin Bear Valley SE, then the Eldridge Grade went replace with a 94 Pine Mountain, then a 96 red S-works HT, then a 99 Marin Mount Vision. then stoped riding MTB's and went rowing for four years/riding race bikes.

Back riding MTB's in 2003.. now have a 2002 S-works HT, red and white one and a 94/95 stumpy and a 93 Marin Eldrige Grade again... Hoorah!!
 
Same as MadCow - Raliegh Mirage - but the purple one with the 300LX Groupset, 501 Frameset.

Christmas present when I was 14 - came complete with local motion purple top tube pad and shoulder carrier bag etc. Truely awful!

Pads disappeared quickly, as did most of the 300LX groupo. Raced it, killed pretty much every part on it.

14 years later it is still going as my winter hack bike - in a slightly different incarnation. Skinny tyres, 105 double chainset, down tube braze ons, drop bars....
 
Raleigh Mustang and while riding home the BB fell out :LOL: So bought a 1989 Muddy Fox Courier

Started mtbing in '91, on a Dawes Zed ladies-framed, 100GS equipped 'bike' (in the loosest sense of the word), 5 months pregnant with my 3rd child. My post-natal pressie was a lovely pair of pedals with purple ano cages :D . After Woz was born I sold my cooker to buy a pair of Scott Unishocks (boing!!) and soon 'upgraded' the frame to a lovely blue gas pipe Diamondback Camarillo (still searching ebay for another for old times sake).
 
My first Mtb was a Marin Bear Valley SE with ritchey, stx rc and lx components. Realy nice steel bike. I think this was in 95 or something. I was 10 years old.

1989 Specialised Rockhopper in Blue and ivory.

7spd Mountain LX with Cantilever brakes front and back.

A great way to start into a fantastic sport :LOL:
