Finally a topic I can share a little bit about here on the CABE. A vintage mountainbiker who trolls here regularly just because I enjoy everything about old bikes, here are a few of my favorite steeds:

Some great bikes in this thread!

Here is my vintage MTB: a 1984 Raleigh Crested Butte. The Crested Butte was the top-of-the line for Raleigh USA's "Mountain Tour" series of the mid-eighties, featuring slack Repack geometry and gobs of first generation Deore "deerhead" componentry. I haven't changed too much to the bike besides tires, saddle, and handlebars. I liked the original Bullmoose, but with a 23 inch top tube, I was too stretched out. It mostly sees service as my city/utility/commuter, though I have ridden some non-technical trails and have done some light touring.

Not exactly vintage but a very unique bike. My 97 BMW Super Tech

Wow I'd thought I'd seen it all... They must have had some good drugs at the BMW factory that year.

Here is my '84 Muddy Fox Seeker, made by Araya, all original except for the tires.
Great bike to ride, second pic is on one of the Dutch retro rides.
