The first Joe Murray designed steel Kona ... was it not the breakthrough that most modern HTs are based on (I think)?

Sure it's a grand bike but what is really [i]Great[/i] about an Orange 5? Certainly isn't worthy of greatest ever title.

That JT photo is sooooo achingly cool it hurts to look at. He was just so piss-takingly good. "Oh high, yes, I'm just [b]winning[/b] this XC race on a rocky, mountainous course with 1.8 inch tyres, crappy elastomer forks and drop handlebars - and in the meantime I'll just do a little crossed-up jump for the camera as I go past, hey ho.". It's that easy.

Back in the day (early 1990's) a very fast mate of mine spotted him doing a gentle warm-up lap around the British World Cup stage - was it Portsmouth? ... he couldn't even vaguely keep up with JT.

Tioga Disc drives. I don't really care if they were totally pointless. They just sounded like the coolest thing in the world ever, rumbling over the ground like a speeder-hover-bike ....and every bike that ever had one fitted was instantly the coolest thing ever. ๐Ÿ™‚
