My first full suspension bike - a 1995 Trek Y22, which I bought when they first came out. Mix of XT and LX running gear, Rock Shox Judy forks and a fairly basic Fox air shock (about 2.5 inches of travel front/rear), canti brakes (about as effective as dragging your feet along the ground to try and slow down). At the time, this bike was pretty nice. This eventualy saw a few upgrades (magura hydralic caliper brakes, bomber forks etc) and was in service until 2000 when I got a Trek VRX500 (the worst dual suspension bike ever?)
Now my latest bike, 17 years later... also carbon, XTR everything, fox shocks, a whole lot more travel, Crossmax ST wheels and amazing to ride. Bikes have come a fair way in this time! 17 years ago, people would have laughed at you if you said you would one day be pedalling a 6 inch travel bike up hill!
