Just the one for me. Early 1993 I spotted a beautiful Yo Eddy in the window of Neil Ross cycles in Aberdeen and popped in for a look. I soooo wanted to buy it (it was my size) and I'd just started working offshore so money wan't too much of an issue, but I'd only recently bought an olive green Stumpjumper and was trying to save for my first flat so decided to be financially prudent and keep hold of it.
I'd have loved a Kona Explosif back in the day, with splatter paintjob obvs.
And later on I took quite a shine to the Intense Slopestyle and Uzzi, but settled for a Lapierre Froggy (which was great anyway).
I bought a Team Marin new in 1994, I really wanted the Team Ti but couldn’t afford the extra £400.
I was in a similar position, but mine was the grey 1996 Team Marin.
Ti was never really an option for me money-wise, but the steel bike (quad-butted Fuji tubing IIRC) was so nice to ride I never really thought of it again.
I’d have loved a Kona Explosif back in the day,
I had one for a bit, and for all the hype mine didn't feel all that great, just a bit lumpen and dull really. replaced it with a Cove Hummer, which, if it hadn't chain sucked badly, I would've hung onto as it was leagues better than the Explosif.
I suspect that for all the rose tinting, lots of these bikes wouldn't be that great in comparison to what we've got now.
