Since I first got into this whole retro mtb scene I've found I'm getting more and more into the early full suspension designs.

I think this is because BITD I found them so exciting, I used to flick though the magazines to find out what the next hair-brained attempt would look like (and did it actually work? :lol: ) Now of course everything has calmed down and manufacturers are just improving the few designs that made it though.

So I thought I'd start a homage those early designs - the weird, the wonderful and the downright sexy... :D

My magazine collection starts at '93, so not much before then from me, I've got a big stack of images on my computer now and I'll post them up as I process them. Feel free to add!
