You got it, I will keep you in mind ! Going to fix it up /swap a few cleaner parts in and see how it rides. Catalogue states largest is 20.5" ..actual measurement is 21" C-T and short effective TT = 22"

Thanks Roy ! I was donating some parts to a local cycling organization and found that Avalanche in a heap...feared it might find its way into the metal recycle bin. :LOL:

Picked up this crusty 88 Avalanche and succeeded in seized seatpost removal with brutality and Fluid Film ....luckily the seatpost was short though the galvanic corrosion was substantial. My 88 Blizzard slope had the same fate.

TTT

The Panaracer GravelKing 2.1 SK's are really nice on road and mixed conditions also.

One here in B.C. Syncros

Stem seen here in catalogue : BlizzardStem

This is the stem originally found on the stock 93 Blizzard - both frame and the stem constructed "in house" at Rocky Mountain to my knowledge. Syncros the predominant stem used otherwise. This stem is not pretty (or Nitto quality) to my eye but if you are going catalogue spec, a needed item on...

Thanks - I was surprised by the condition of the paint also. No real history other than I just got it from a fellow who worked as a bike mechanic in Victoria, B.C. in one of the long standing shops and he acquired it from a friend quite some time back. No riveting details I'm afraid.

Yes it is. Original shop decal on the Downtube too - Robson Cycles (Vancouver, B.C.) where many of these fine bikes were originally sold.

Thanks for posting and your efforts, Al ! The Canadian flag is a decal and was peeling so I just yanked it - oops !

Bigs Thanks for bringing this video to my attention _ a nice followup to reading the book.

They're truly ugly from my perspective also. Not sure what their demand was like BITD but certainly sought after now. Not many were made.

Not the pointiest but the potential for slipping off these old Cook bros. and getting a "shin full" was pretty High. But a privilege considering the rarity of these pedals ? hahah. o_O

Wow - that get's the heart beating - extraordinary and nice refurb !

That's nuts ! I recall staring up into the Dream cycle rafters years ago and seeing this bike obscured by bad lighting thinking it was likely something like a Rocky / Ritchey enduro - toyo built though in the daylight it is more apparent it is something else. What a find and great to see it...

Thanks Andy, I would love a custom made one from you if you ever get around to it. Hopefully I don't end up buying a cheaper RM full bike just for the angled seat clamp in the meantime :LOL: None the less, I will keep my eyes open for two !

Posting this for a lark as I have seen similar wanted ads for this very item that stagnate for eternity. Might as well be asking for a RM Wedge. However, if any kind soul has one collecting dust, I am in need for my recent 95 Altitude purchase . Thanks.

Any luck on this (no, I don't have one) ?

BUMP - anyone with an 18.5" RM Summit RL or Max that can provide a head tube length measurement ? thanks !
