Whats Hot? This was the thinking in 1990

[Coleman]

Interesting article from MBA - Feb 1990 - the thoughts on what's hot and what's not from the industry leaders:

This was from a Nishiki Ad:

Wonder how it aligns with the retro cool wall of today.....

Enjoy the read

What was so good about Nishiki? Looks nothing special to me. and what's with all those water bottles?

hmm ... That Savage looks nice. Would it be possible to scan the review of that?

Interesting read, I was 7 at the time so it's quite an insight for me. Easy to say from this distance but some of the leading lights' opinions, especially on headsets and suspension, reek of burying their heads in the sand. Wonder if they revised their opinions and, if so, when.

Given that at least a couple of those guys are lurkers on this forum, I'd be very interested to know what they think of these topics now

Hydraulic rim brakes have been around since the 1970's
