Hi, I’m 174 cm tall (I haven’t measured my inseam yet), and I’m looking to buy a 90s MTB for all-terrain use. I’m having trouble choosing the right size and would really appreciate your advice.
Here are the two options I’m considering:
– Panasonic Prong Horn
Seat tube: 480 mm
Top tube: 550 mm
– Trek 950
Seat tube: 420 mm
Top tube: 540 mm
Since these are older MTB geometries, I’m not sure how to interpret the sizing. Which one would fit me better?
Thank you!

I think either might work unless you have very long arms or legs. The Panasonic might be a slightly better fit though. You can also always adjust the reach with a shorter or longer stem and the optimum seat height with the seat post up or down.
I am about 12mm taller than you and ride a 90’s Specialized with similar sizing to the Panasonic you posted. I don’t think size will be a problem.
You can barely go too small or too big with them. Just choose whatever you like more.
