Here’s my 1985 Ritchey Commando that I ordered with Phil Wood Hubs.
The tires are the only things that are not original.
Check out the first seat post dropper.
A Trek 950 Single Track back in 1991. It's still sitting in my basement but the Manitou 2's are complete junk. I got the elastomer replacement kit and may look to bring her back to life as a change of pace bike, I just need the motivation. Or maybe I just scrap that idea and look for something used & newer. It's funny, some dude on craigslist is trying to sell the same bike, "vintage" and $800 back in the day, for $225. HA! Get real pal
A Trek 3900. Since I've move on to a better bike, I've attached a child trailer to the 3900 and it is now my 2 year grandson's bike. He loves going out for a ride.
My first bike I went mountain biking on was from wal-mart. It barely survived the week trip I took it on. Grip shifter broke, rear wheel came out of true, etc.
A couple years later I got a 2006 Giant Yukon. Here is an image I found of it somewhere. I'm younger so it isn't a rigid etc.
Mine was a 1997 Diamondback Sorrento. I loved that bike and rode everywhere all the time. I remember being jealous of my friend's Diamondback with a RockShox fork.
If you mean the first bike I went down a hill on, it was a rusty old frame I found under a bush in about 1970, no tires, no saddle, no brakes, no chain, just a pure downhill racer! Used it for a while until it fell apart, then bought my son some French bike in about '86 that was purpose built. That was so much fun I went out and bought myself a D Back. That was about 87. Lots since then...

It was called a 'Sterling - Super Discovery' and I was probably 10 or 11 when I got it (20 years ago!). It was too big but I was able to grow into it. Lower end components but it lasted me until I was 16 or so when I got a hand me down Cannondale.
Edit - Check out that elevated chain stay.. sweeeet!

I bought my 1984 Schwinn Sierra brand new. 2 years later I sold it and bought a new 1986 High Sierra which I still own and sometimes ride. Ridden it through Yellowstone Park, Blueridge & Smoky Mtns and last summer the Skyline Drive through Shenandoah National Park. Still has original roller-cam brakes. I use it for bad weather commuting and gravel touring.
1989ish DiamondBack Ascent.... Purple.. with Biopace chain rings... I was 13 and it got me everywhere...
I had the 1987, in bright yellow. The catalog that year was all about how awesome indexed shifting was. Braze-ons all over, and 3 spare spokes for a chainstay protector. I actually did a lot of loaded touring with mine.

Bianchi ocelot. Suntour components. Wasted so much time and money trying to mod it. Was only 13 at the time and barely had any money. I remember I wanted a control tech stem and rock shox quadra fork but never happened. Bike eventually got stolen and painted green by some criminal as my brother spotted it. It led to us being subpoena to court to testify. The dude that stole my bike got community service hours. I was reimbursed by insurance which led to specialized stumpjumper ht in black.. Awesome bike back then.
