I have found this thread a good read so far to be fair, and thought provoking.
No thought to what was going on back in the day in the market place, with evolution of the MTB, what brought us to the point, what was going on all around us.
No mention of Marketing either, and the volumes in which they were sold, how/who were importing them, bringing with it a price ticket.
Much the same as the Hardcore fan/collector ridiculing the same brand when Trek took the reigns, of which they come with little value if any when compared, especially to the collector.
I see this entire scenario over and over again, to name but one, "Fat Chance" is no different, totally blinkered fans who wont have a bad word said, everything is the best of the best, and nobody does it better.....Blah, Blah Blah.
The Time, The Place and the Propaganda Cemented these Brands in Infamy.
