GMBN Top ten retro MTB’s

Let the discussion begin….

Nice they do such items. It is not exactly my top ten, but they share some fine bikes.

It´s nice they do such vids to show the bikes to a broader audience, so I can look over the few detail errors. But Mr Dodd is sorely missing. Reading text and showing pics- I don´t feel the enthusiasm.

As to the line up- Is the GT LTS so desirable? I think a true 80´s entry like an early Ritchey woul have been more fitting.

Is it just me or are they only top 8?
Maybe nine if we count Adroit and Attitude separately.
Only bikes from the US, too.

 

[Dr Dremel]

Didn´t even notice it´s just 8(9) bikes. Just goes to show what an anorak I am focusing on the "aluminium lugs" of the C-26

From a US perspective I would have expected;

Mountain Cycle San Andreas
Ritchey P-21
Ibis Bowtie
Any Brodie
GT Zaskar or Xizang
Maybe Yeti F.R.O., but the A.R.C. was mentioned
Schwinn Homegrown
Pace RC200

Holy cow - are those original welds on the Cunningham or a bodged in patch? It looks like I tacked it in with the flux core I've never read the instructions for.

They mention the quality welds on the Yeti A.R.C., which look great, but there's a shot of the C26 where the headtube welds look really terrible.

I agree on the San Andreas and Bowtie.
