Hey - I also had a Kuwahara - can't remember the model (but it was totally rigid). It was the second MTB bike I bought (an upgrade from a 1986 Rockhopper Comp). It was an unusal bike with a 26" front wheel and 24" rear. Lovely paint scheme - very 80's- Black with pink, yellow and blue spatter. I just finally gave the bike away last year.

Oh dear...vintage girl here...
My MTB is a 1984 Kuwahara Sierra Grande which I've rebuilt/updated from a rigid to an XC hardtail. It was a $69.99 Value Village find. Classic vintage double butted cro-mo with Deore/DeoreXT/Deore XT Deerhead components.

I have a '99 Specialized S-Works hardtail. Best bike that ever owned me. Fits me so well it was like it was made just for me.
My husband wants me to get a new full suspension Gary Fisher but I just LOVE my bike I cant imagine riding another one.

I have a Santa Cruz Juliana in bright orange that my kids call the flying pumpkin.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

I have a Gary Fisher Marlin. I love this bike. It is just right for me. She is bright green with purple bar ends, a WTB saddle with embroidered dragonfly on it...her name is skittles. Right now she has slicks for commuting, but I change up now and again!
I also have a 1987 Blue rigid Huffy!!! That tank is sooo bomb proof. Cheap as it was, it changes gears really smoothly! My BF rides that now. He is eyeing a Tassahara though.

your bike is cool! Is it heavy? I have a diamond back from 1988 and it's a rock!

I have three mountain bikes. My new mountain bike was designed and hand-built by my husband
(perfect for this under 5ft. tall gal), I'll post a picture later. He just hand-built a titanium bike for someone (I have my eye on that next).
I also have another bike my hubby designed that he turned into a singlespeed (loving the singlespeed at the moment). And I have a full-suspension Titus locomoto.

Snowtulip,
Did you get the extra small Loco? People were trying to talk me into that, but the small just felt right. What color is yours? Did you buy it right from a shop? I test rode it in Georgia, but no local shops carried it, so I had mine custom built at SpeedGoat. They did an excellent job. It's so cool to hand-pick _every_ component.

Trek 6000. I bought it because it was cool! Has never seen a mountain! I used it on the Katy Trail in MO a lot. I am a recreational cyclist. Been riding this on pavement lately, that is when the temps have been in the 80's or less. I hate the 90's plus that we have had the past few days..
