Hi, you're right, this isn't 1990, but those folding bikes had been introduced in 2001

They are pretty rare in Europe, not sure if they have sold a lot.
To me, not a problem, I found the earlier MTBs based on AMP design anyhow much more attractive.

BTW: the three spoke rims are aluminum if not just sheet metal and produced from Protos. Every now and then there are still offers for the wheel set itself.

Yes a lot of manufacturers didn't introduce disc tabs till much after 1990.
Like 2000 probably or 2001
It's not my thing but it's handy if you use the train
Not that into the wheels
