    show us your Rocky Mountains!

    Good to know. I was wanting that one just because of the Maple Leaf theme. However I found a 94 in Canada, that should scratch the itch.

    Early Rocky Mountain Road frame.

    In the 88 catalog The Giro and Turbo are said to be build with a combination of tubes. Giro - Super Vitus 983 Cro-Moly GTI Turbo - Columbus SPX or Super Vitus 983 or Reynolds 531 ( I suppose the customer could select) I know it's not the Aluminum tubes, but RM was using Vitus tubes. Your...

    What a great story, and even closer to the heart, as Chris will be looking at my bike as well. When I asked him about it his response brought a tear to my eyes just because I could tell he cares. This story further confirms my feelings. Thanks! Nice bike BTW, and rightful naming! :cool:

    Shimano M730 32.1mm Stack or Other Low Stack Height 1" HS?

    Thanks, I was assuming I would not be using locking spacer anyway. I was thinking wondering if they made a thinner hanger... It the original custom rigid Rocky Mountain fork. Where does the the Kona hanger bolt on to? There is no hole at the crown like a fender mount hole. Thanks, I'm not...

    Early Rocky Mountain Road frame.
