Mountain bike tech is constantly moving forward. That doesn’t mean that there haven’t been some absolutely classic bikes. Looking back, there are many great retro bikes that we’d love to ride, even now. The Fat Chance Yo Eddy? John Tomac’s drop bar Yeti? Mountain Cycle’s San Andreas? All retro classics.
Cool!
But the best overall isn’t mentioned….for XC, nothing beats the DBR WCF.
Yup.
And I have owned far too many steel/Ti/alu vintage-ers.
