My first Bike that i used to cut my teeth on with the XC circuit's was back in 1995 and that was a M-Trax Chromolly 1000. What I loved about that bike was the narrow tubes and long reach, I was never really one for all the Oversize tube stuff, from their I went on to a Univega, I cant remember the model but i didnt have that long as the geomatry of the frame was a bit hard on my knee's.. scince then I have always had Hard tails and long reach rides, the one bike that I did have and loved was a Voodoo Bantu, one of the last before halfords took it over and cocked up what was an well built machine with perfect set ups and a very hardy bike that could cope with anything you slung at it... Now I have gone back in time to 1997 and bought a restored and rebuilt back to complete stock a Marin Rift Zone.... and what a ride.. this was a envy bike when I used to be riding in XC races in the late 90's I would be sat their one my M-Trax whilst being surrounded by Marins, Kona's and Orange... and now I feel like I am 17 again...

That said, overuse of emoticons can be a mark against you when the ship's crew votes on whether to make you walk the plank, so use them wisely (cough, cough, Scotty).
