As long as we're posting our own mountain mountain bikes, here's my '85 Trek 830. 24" frame.

I picked up a couple of 21" MTBs. First one was a Trek 930 Singletrack, but it's gone now.
I still have a 89 Diamondback Axis XT, now a cruiser. I think they are still out there, just a little scarce.

Funny that this turned into a 'Show Your Tall Mountain Bikes" thread. I guess we answered the question of where they all went.

I've got a pretty good guess on what happened to them. They got obsolete in both components and size (frames got compacted) and they were trashed.
I showed three bikes here. The Raleigh and Miyata were stripped and put out for Big Trash pickup around my neighborhood.
The Ross had a broken seat clamp ear, and was on the grass at a garage sale for FIVE DOLLARS and sat there until I showed up late.

Reminds me of my ol' Fuji Blvd XC. It came in to the used bike shop I worked at as Frame/fork/bars/cranks. I eventually set it up with SS cranks before putting it up for sale in the shop. I just started looking for one in my size this year but so far have just found a blue step-thru frame version.
