    There is a very limited market for older MTB's. The interest that older road bikes hold simply isn't there for off road bikes atm.
    I think it looks beautiful though and if I were you would hold on to it, maybe turn it into a commuter or tourer.

    ^^ Very undervalued; keep an eye on the market and see if interest doesn't increase. It's titanium, which in my eyes will never go out of style... build it up and enjoy it.

    Agreed on keeping and restoring.

    OP, If I wasn't restoring my own 1994 mtb I'd be interested in that. It seems reasonably original? A couple of pictures from the drive side wouldn't go astray.
