Good one, I can see several familiar looking components and oooh those lycra-covered Scott helmets. Having started MTB early nineties on a  size too small rigid bike I still recall how sketchy the bikes were back then.

It's all relative, modern bikes still require skill.  The smiles were as big in those days, which is what it's all about.

Would a modern XC bike conform to the standards...?

(interesting that you can spell brakes 2 different ways on the same line 🙂 )
