My first "real" mountain bike was a GT RTS. It was fucking awful by today's standards (it was pretty bad for its day too). I wonder if the people waxing poetic about old bikes would still feel the same if they actually rode one back-to-back with a modern bike? We love to complain about them, but my god - we are spoiled with choice, aren't we? Whether you're after a lightweight trail whippet, or a 38lb crusher - horses for courses! Bikes are pretty darn good these days!
Good on you for digging up the Corsair, Andrew. I do vaguely recall this company, but don't remember the high pivot model. My own jury is still out on whether high-pivots make sense on pedally bikes. We'll see how the Range affects my opinion.
