I have a 93 Diamondback Ascent that I purchased used for $100 just after high school graduation. I have taken that bike every where I've been. From Olympia to Issaquah, then down to San Diego for a few years (96-00), and now back in Seattle. It has gone from full rigid to Rock Shock front suspension - which in turn meant losing the cantalever breaks, which of course were integrated w/the shifters so all had to been changed. Now I have gone back to full rigid (tracked down an old Raleigh steel fork from about same era) and have given it a paintjob. Man it also had a biopace crank on it - now a deore hollowtech. Anyways, I got a nicer mid range roadie that i ride, but I just cannot seem to part w/this bike! My wife laughs at the money I throw at it. No matter, this bike is right at home w/me towing my son in the Burley trailer. I couldnt see it any other way. Your story hits home man!
