My second MTB (after a 1991 Marin Bear Valley) on the day I bought it.
I still own this.

Panasonic made a model called ATB Pro. My first "MTB" was not one of those. It was an All Pro ATB from Kmart. I warped the front rim before I even got across the parking lot.
Then I met chromoly and alloy rims. Still got this one, my first real mtb
I doubt there's too much original there anymore, maybe the bottom bracket and headset?

GT Pantera, sadly got stolen (not my bike in pic)

This was my fourth. Never managed to get photos of the others before they got nicked!

Check out those spokes… would love to rebuild a set of wheels now but I’ll be buggered if I can remember the brand…

Not my actual bikes, but closest images I could find of my 2nd and 3rd bikes

This was my second MTB, no pics of my first which was a Townsend. Built this from a frame set. As it was originally built in 93, only the forks were swapped.
Oh and the vees! It was cantis originally.

1993 Koga-Miyata SkyRunner Carbolite in 1995

 

[Hotwheels.]

Second bike after a Diamond Back Ascent, I still own this one.
Built with parts from ‘91 to ‘97 when I bought the frame.
