I also fondly remember riding in the 90's. You picked a bike you thought was cool, did a carpark test at the local bike shop and you were on your way. You didn't care about geometry, weight* or anything apart from riding and getting better so you could ride more difficult trails. It's only when suspension forks came along that things started getting complicated. I do miss those simple days.
\* maybe a little but you couldn't afford a superlight bike so it didn't really matter.
