Which is the best mid nienties hard tail mountain bike?

[legrandefromage]

My vote would be for the Indian Fire Trail but is that just me?

whatever bike I was riding at the time was the best bike ever. it didnt matter what bike, just the fact that I was cycling is enough.

GT Zaskar

or at a pinch GT Xizang.

Much as I am loathed to say it, A Zaskar may be the ideal starting point, plentiful, can be cheap and ride well. (I only discovered the ride quality last year, and I was impressed) Still common as muck mind!

How many have you seen riding around in the last week ?

It's not exactly an Apollo or a Raleigh.

Common or not I agree, never thought I'd say this and hope Mikee's not around but Zaskar would be a good starting point :roll:

Come to think of it I genuinely can't remember the last time I saw an Apollo. Where as Zaskars, amongst range topping bikes that you see about, are probably the most common.

If I have seen any being ridden in the last week, they have not been memorable enough to recall here, however I have just seen this many just now on ebay. http://www.retrobike.co.uk/auction/results.php?search=zaskar&cat=cycling#result Some look pretty good value.

Might have something there - lad I rode with in Swansea did incredible things on one

Real name's not Mike is it d00m...?

There is a huge amount of brand snobbery.
The smaller the production run, the better the bike.
Also expensive bikes MUST be better than cheap ones. Duh.

..or maybe not? :twisted:
...

No no no, they are better. MBUK told me so, when I was just a young boy.

I need to expand my horizons, but I love DiamondBacks. Cheapish, great ride, can get top spec machines for a lot less than a Zaskar
