What gets me with this frame is that seat tube, it's so distinct someone must recognize it. it looks like its two bonded tubes, with the top one tapering down. Does anyone recognize that?

It's an early Syncros rodie stem-

Yup that’s about it, that scenery is about 30 mins to my west. For the money, best place to live in Canada. Oh also happy Canada Day.

Thanks Raiden, I’m in Southern Alberta Canada- it’s where the Rocky Mountains meet the Prairies, about an hour north of the US boarder. It’s super green here this year, but we’re actually a semi arid desert. Scorpions and rattle snakes oh my!

yeah, that look right.

My thoughts- since you asked. Those forks belong on the RST1. I also prefer my higher quality steal frames to be rigid. I like to feel the difference in compliance and ride. Plus I believe black will help showcase th frame vs. Silver I think would take the attention away.

I’d say 95. Likely off an Altitude.

Why not start. I just added some bling today, seems like a good reason - 95 Rocky Mountain Thin Air. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1995-rocky-mountain-thin-air.457466/

I believe they're just 879's, or I've seen them stocked with LX as well, nothing fancy- there should be plenty out there-

That sucks.

a picture of the bike would help a lot- just to confirm it's a 94 frame.

I thought so too, but the 95 should have a square bolt, not a tapered. and I don't think 95's came with any noodles, they were using "Boners" by 94 if I remember correctly.

94 should be silver stem and fork no? Those look like the 93 gold to me.

Wow! Welcome? I’m not quite sure what to think lol.

This is funny- I choose to not be medicated for lots of reasons, but I tell people it’s because I don’t want to know what it’s like to be them, I’d rather they take a pill to be able to see what it’s like to be me. They can have my brain for 12 hours. I think that would be much more fun. I call...

I'm both ADHD with a touch of the 'tism. Looking forward to reading this, I've noticed a theme between "bike people" and neurodivergance.

Ok I've decided to enter this one. Nigel Finnighan's 1992 Rocky Mountain Glacier - build https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/91-rocky-mountain-glacier-blizzard.428436/page-2 Edit- put it's pedals back on. (it lives in my living room most of it's time)

Time for an update: picture dump.
