My first full susser was one of these1997 Scott Octane FX3. I thought it was the cat’s ass until I rode my 2005 FSR
My first experience was an old Scott too, possibly the model before that, although I didn’t own it but paid a pretty penny to hire one for a day in San Francisco, 24th September 1997 (can still remember the date), rode over golden gate bridge and despite intending to go straight back and around the park and streets I just headed off into the distance of Marin County, too far as it turned out, it was a very hot day, the gears wouldn’t drop to the granny ring and with no water or food I nearly died! I didn’t touch another full suspension bike until 2004!

I can tell from your photos that you rode across the Marin Headlands to Muir Beach. I applaud your ambition, a real ride on a bogus bike.

Marin County, CaliI see the Boulder already got on this list. Here are some more shots of that bike, as well as the 1985 “Descender” suspension system by Brian Skinner.
