When I bought my first (and only) MTB in either '91 or '92 I test rode both of those. Ended up going with the 930 I think it was. I remember the lugged construction. That bike was a workhorse. Abused that thing for some 13 year and it rarely complained. Finally put it in the alley with the trash when I was cleaning out my mom's garage in preparation for selling her house. It was gone in a matter of hours. I liked to think that someone got a few more years out of it bent rim and dented top tube notwithstanding.
