Well, if you ask me, I'd like to see more nineties' full suspension rigs, a la Mountain Cycle San Andreas or Intense M1, as well as mainland Euro stuff, like Sunn or Schauff or Storck or Rotwild. Sunn had a damn racing dynasty that killed 'em all. Where are they now?
One of my years of grace was 1997. I don't know why, but stuff kinda seemed to be looking more and more unpleasant from then on: bigger logos, aggressive branding, too much "pragmatism" and so on. Hereby, I'd love to see a 1997 Rocky Mountain Thin Air in close to original spec or pretty much any CrMo Marin. Why does the hype need to stop at 1996 (at least that's what I understand)? 1997 and 1998 Marins looked awesome, composed and balanced, but beginning with 1999 and 2000 they jumped the multicolor ultrabranding bandwagon.
Anyhow, that's it for now.
Cheers,
Mx
