As for me, my favorite mountain bike is my 89 Wicked Fat Chance. Chris Chance( Fat City Cycles) made some real nice bikes. I also like my bottom of the line Kline Pulse Comp.

My favourite is also a Mongoose, but the '89 Alta 18". Got ripped off in '90 though.

My current is a Giant Rock 18".

got a Schwinn that I pulled out of some guy's garbage. Threw on better brakes, low profile handlebars, new wheels and tires, new chain, and regeared the whole thing. I love it. With the gearing I've got in it, in 1st gear you can almost flip yourself upside down my pushing the pedal, and I've never gotten stuck on rocks or anything with it, but in 18th gear, I can outrun most road race bikes here in Indy. I LOOOOOVE this bike!
