still not sure on this as there's a great selection of bikes from my fave era to choose from... but I really love the cool Fat and Kuwahara, two bikes i'd want to own from this little lot. Then there's the Stumpjumper that keeps catching my eye!... still not sure

You've hurt my poor bike's feelings
I think it is interesting how much splatter/neon are considered synonymous with 80s mtbs. My recollection is that was 1 or 2 years at most. It is like saying E-stays are the classic 80s bike.
The majority of my collection is from the 80s but nearly all are subtle bikes, typically one or two natural colors. Even my most whacked out 80s paint scheme (gecko with splatter and smoke) is monochrome.
I voted for the Tufftrax. Reminds me of humble beginnings of the mountain bike beginnings. I know it wont appeal to loads because it lacks the perceived wow factor of some ofthe higher end bikes from bitd but for me its understated beauty makes it worthy of a vote.
Only two votes including mine...guessing the other one was from Coomber

Had to be Tim Gould's Peugoet, a bike of absolute pedigree.
