Awesome video. Didn't understand a word but got the message. People don't realize that MTB had to crawl before it could walk. Without all the work put in by the pioneers of this sport it wouldn't be where it is now. Laugh if you want to at the helmets, the simplicity of the bikes, and the inability of the riders but it all started way back then.

[@reapanomin899]

We have to thank Ritchey and Specialized for that.However,we also have to thank those who have developed the bike's and the sport itself.Even as a roadie,I think that this is crucial knowledge for any serious cyclist:knowing and appreciating every discipline of cycling.

[@championthewonderhorse9733]

I have a Tour de France programme from 1989 and in one of the pictures, there is a crowd watching a race and one of the crowd has a mountain bike perched in a tree with them and i remember as a boy being transfixed by the bike thinking it looked like the coolest thing ever.

Wahnsinn, ein Jahr davor fing es für mich an....mein erstes MTB,ein Marin!
Mit rund 17 kg waren die Alpenüberquerungen oft eine Qual, Hochalpin wurde mehr geschoben und getragen.

Sweet!
I brought my bright yellow 1985 Cannondale mountain bike to Germany summer of '87. It caught EVERYONE'S attention. All I heard is, "WASSSS ist das????" No one had seen mountain bikes in Germany yet, so it attracted a lot of attention.
So great to have a bike that summer.
PS And get this: the Tour de France just so happened to start in Berlin that year (to help celebrate Berlin's 750th anniversary). Well, the Tour route came right through my city. And to add to that, I met another American foreign worker who was a French native speaker. He and I approached the race director and he, putting on his best fake bad-American French accent, begged for back-stage passes. "We LOVE France!" VOILA! we had passes! Man, what a treat. Seeing the 7-11 team show up with Eric Heiden coaching. Laurent Fignon hanging out at a fountain pre-race, etc. What pure unadulterated luck!

[@houseofsolomon2440]

I've had a few cannondale frames starting early 90's. Very rigid w/nice welds -

[@Simon-jh1hf]

I had my first MTB from Edeka in 1994 or something like that. Before I saw the bright yellow KONSUL Mtb standing there, I didn't know those things :D
I was 6 or so then^^

Funny to seen how the story repeats itself just now with gravel bikes, the hype around it and the anger of the forst rangers/ owners.

amazing... i got into mountain biking around this time, and old mate had a raleigh montage (21 inch frame) and i cycled down a bike track and hung on for dear life...i was addiected and went straight back up..!
i then bought a second hand raleigh mustang atb - but it wasn't very good...but i bought my mates montage from him, then in 1991 i bought a white trek 850 (LX components, 18 inch frame) for 500 quid...loved it..!

[@mikebennett146]

This was state-of-the-art, cutting edge technology. Kinda funny looking back at it now. But I love older retro mountain bikes from the 80's/90's way more than new stuff. In fact I don't like any modern mountain bikes for so many years now. They are far too over-engineered and expensive. Unless you are a downhill rider, there's far too much useless features and ridiculous crap. Mtn bikes don't even look like bikes any more. It used to be simple and more fun. Bikes are one of those things that I feel the simpler the better. Just remember back in the day when you used to regularly hop on your bike and go anywhere, not thinking about what either you or others think about your bike?! It was just about transportation & having fun. It was more carefree and joyful

When all mountain bikes were the same stamp, a level playing field, so no one upmanship and snobbery, like you get on the trails now, hardtail v full suspension v E bike v tyre sizes, thicknesses etc, competitiveness all the time. Bikes were rigid, tyres were 26 X 1.9 or 2.0, no cycle specific clothing, just shorts, t-shirt or track, shell suit and trainers and a rucksack with your packup in, puncture kit etc. Long days out with your mates on a bike that had huge wheels and so many gears! Such a massive leap from our bmxs! 👍

I am looking forward to taking my retro MTB out properly this summer, It has a lot of the components featured on these bikes, the cantilevers, Mavic rims, 1990 Deore LX GS and the Deore II 7 spd Thumbshifters shown here still working as if they were new, fully rigid, taken it out on a few smaller off-road rides and it rips, feels faster than my more modern Trek, I rode everything on rigid bikes like these in the early 90s, it wasn't just fire roads and bridlepaths, technical and rocky downhills, as well as steep up technical hill climbs, some good memories watching this, I think I saw my Saracen Trekker that I had, it would have been a v late 80s edition, U brakes front and rear!
