@Canuckbiker 's 1989 Rocky Mountain Blizzard I'll throw my hat in the ring with my recently completed Blizzard 😁 Build Thread: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1989-rock-mountain-blizzard-slope.470541/

New tires came and they are in great shape 😍, my normal preferred mounting of tires is lining the logo up with the valve stem opposite the rim decal. I know others prefer the opposite approach. In this case Wolber kinda made up my mind for me when they stitched these tubulars together 😂. For my...

Got out for a spin in Birch Bay last weekend and snapped this picture

The other day after riding my Cook Bros equipped bike I noticed the drive side arm was loose, easy enough to remedy of course. Tightened up and good to go now. I must admit I am shy to torque Cooks down too much due to them been so prone to cracking and I check the cranks are snug before and...

I noticed that, some things to consider for sure 🤔

Ya, was thinking about entering, thanks for the encouragement! Maybe I'll enter once the new tires arrive and take some updated photos, should be any day now 👍

Thanks @mk one Of all my DIY respray attempts, I'm most satisfied with how this one came out 😁

Great score! I'll be following with interest I think I'd be tempted to respray after seeing these pics

Thanks so much for the kind words Yes, it’s great fun getting out with these guys and their cool rides, yes that is a titanium loop tail Titan, a very sweet ride 😎

It sure was a good time, quite the mixture of vintage going on :cool:

I completed the build Friday and I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome. It's nice when you have several months to prepare all the parts. Also happy to say that the Suntour thumbies and cogset shifts quite well. It's my first time riding XC Pro thumbies, I love the feel of them. Oh ya, the...

I mean: beautiful old climbMax (doh!) I always assume fillet brazed brodies are romaxes 😄

Wow, beautiful old Romax and great selection of parts, especially love the NDS entry matching ICR stem

Okay, cool. I've since read a few posts on another site where many roadies have fully switched to tape so I'll give it a go. Will cost more than glue but think its worth it with all the other benefits. My Wolber TR1s are pretty wide at around 25.5mm wide, I just ordered two rolls of the Tufo...

Thanks for chiming in @zonoskar, I'd never heard of Tufo tires but just did some digging. Interesting offerings they have including a couple 26" options, too bad black wall only but good to know about these. It's funny how sometimes we talk about our vintage stuff being expensive especially NOS...

😂 :LOL:, Ahh yes... The best of intentions! Sometimes the rabbit hole ends up being just a little bit deeper than anticipated 🤪😜

I made an amazing score today. I have been checking FleeBay regularly over the last few months hoping to source some NOS or nicer condition tubular 26" tires. They do seem very rare and I wonder if other manufacturers other than Wolber even produced MTB versions. As noted early in the thread...

Wouldn't miss it :cool:

Yep, mountain version Also, IMHO one of the nicest stems ever made, too bad it does not incorporate front brake cable support, I have one on my Bianchi MTB Check out this writeup from Bicycle guide in 1992, it was made in-house by Ibis and sold for $235USD BITD
