Show us your modern-retro crossover bikes - if there are any out there!
The motive behind this thread is entirely selfish :twisted: I'm keen to see how others have adapted to changing times, to get ideas about what my next work-horse mountain bike will be. Full modern bikes leave me cold - I have tried a couple of expensive ones and it just felt all wrong (too much suspension, sitting nearly upright, on/off brakes, etc.) - so I'm thinking about combining what I like about retro, and what I think I would like about modern.
What I think I'd like is a steel 29er with discs, moderate travel suspension (mayb rigid instead), and something as close to the classic head-down 90s riding position as modern stuff, and my aged body, can do.
Do you have a modern frame with retro parts? Or perhaps you have a retro frame with modern parts? Or something else?
