I have a '95 Trek 930. I hate that thing. Horrible over agressive geometry and uncomfortable on the trail. It was my first mountain bike and nearly ruined me for the sport.

Ugh, bear traps! I have many shin scars and stitch marks from my old BMX days with those damn pedals.btw, I still use the pedals off of this thing on my '90 Stumpjumper Comp. I love the big bear traps.
Years ago my full-sus bike I commuted on was inop, so I pulled out my ancient Cannondale for the ride. Blasting over a curb into sand, tapped my rear tire on the curb and the rear tire bounced instead of sucking up the hit, and sent me over the bars for a face-full of sand. I didn't realize how lazy my full-sus had made me!Dude...you couldn't pay me to go back to a hard tail! I don't care how much "pure" the ride may be, a well designed dualie smokes the hard tails for speed and comfort.
Nice resto. I'm struggling with what to do with my old bikes, tough to give them up, but they would be pretty expensive to bring back to a fun condition. Full sus and hydraulics require more than casual tinkering, better to replace them or have them rebuilt if I want a reliable bike again, which takes the fun out of bike wrenching for me.Rides like new, or at least good enough for my purposes.
