Super cool bike! But the decals are just all over the place; Head tube is from '96. Down tube is '95/'96 and on the wrong side. "Signature series" was '97. "race" was '97.

I love these Rockys that are seemingly original, but have paint that isn't in the catalog. I have a couple myself. I'd guess someone repainted this in the early 90's and had factory decals to put on, with their own take on where they should go.

My handy dandy Hammer guide; '90 Hammer = wishbone, top tube cable housing stops, two down tube water bottle mounts '91 Hammer = wishbone, head tube mounted cable housing stops, one down tube water bottle mount. '92 Hammer = wishbone, top tube cable stops, one down tube water battle mount '93...

This is fantastic - thanks! Pretty clear that it's not an Evolution or Holeshot as it's not RAD tubing. Though it came with the same Titec stem as in that picture. But the Rocket sure looks like a possibility. I was just too lazy to tear it down to the frame, but maybe I should to weigh it. I...

Excellent - thanks!

There is a similar thread to this already, but I'm hoping some new people or info might know some more about this; I have found a couple of similar bikes. Like this Kinetic; Mine doesn't have a brace for the disc brake. And mine has a very beefy chain stay setup; This leads me to believe...

Tried to do something different with my '94 Blizzard; I LOVE the hand position from these bars, just feels so natural. Running 7 SPD thumbshifters with an 8 speed cassette - as per the catalog setup - Ritchey brakes, and some custom painted Cane Creek wheels. And Blasphemy! A Kona fork...

One of my favourite threads but somehow I've never posted anything here. Where to start... How about my 1991 Summit Max - a model only sold in Germany I think. Not sure how it ended up as part of a deal with a low end GT and a junk BMX bike, but that's how it goes. This is how it started...

Not sure if this is the guy or not, but he is in Hungary; https://www.ebay.ca/str/bikedec I've ordered two sets from him and have been very impressed with the quality. I only see the one set for a Blizzard in his listings.

I find it really hard to make out differences in the '91 and '92 Hammer based on the catalog images that are online - apart from the obivous component differences anyway.

None of the bikes in the '91 catalog had that sticker. And the catalog had a paragraph about 'Performance on the trail. Performance engineering. Performance for competitors.' and so on and so on. But, no mention of Performance Paint. Would have been the perfect place to mention it I figure. On...

I picked up this GT last summer. Didn't have any inkling as to what it was, I just thought it was time for a GT project. It was even more terrible than it looks - every bolt that should have been Allen had been swapped for a hex head. Also someone started to drill holes in the top of the...

I recently had a stolen bike recovered, after 18 months, which is pretty crazy. However, the front caliper was missing. One of the post mounts on the fork was half-sheared off too, not sure if those things are related... Anyway, It's a Shimano SLX, M670 model. I really liked these brakes, but...

This is a bike I don't have anymore, and ultimately a sad story, but I liked this bike as much as any I've ever built, so it's worth a post I think. A very well used '91 Cannondale SM800. I think it was mostly original. It had the Shimano DX group, but an XT rear derailleur, the push-push...

The steerer is 5" long and the threads are 1 1/8" I'm not sure what size frame it came off of - I bought the bike for $50 and found a crack on the top tube at the head tube, so the frame is long gone.

I've got a fork, but it's from an SM2000. And it's 1"

A buddy of mine bought the pink LX version of this bike, after I tried to convince him the Fisher HK-II was a better deal. This has a 1 1/4" headtube I think?

Re: Re: This BIKE article hits the main points that I recall - very unusual bike, but very expensive, and broke easily. Didn't really go anywhere, and eventually sold the patents to Santa Cruz for the Blur, and Intense for the Spider. https://www.bikemag.com/blog/web-monkey ... rry-right/ I...

When Hardcore started up in Edmonton, they sold Shogun. I saw a guy two summers ago rolling around the South side on one, and I think there was one on Kijiji last summer. Really cool bike!

I was looking for a full suspension project last winter, like a Santa Cruz Heckler or a Rocky Element, but when this came up, I couldn't resist. It was listed in the Accessories section of eBay, and even with that mistake, the ten frames the seller had sold fast. Astrix was out of Colorado...
