I had the white Blizz out for a little off road shake down last weekend.
It was a nice clear day out but the trail was mucky. Good fun! It's nice to have a little splatter on the white paint.
Everything worked great and felt super solid.
-Tires are rad. I love nothing more then to look down and see a Panaracer smoke tearing up the trail
-Even on the first ride the Scott brake pads felt way better then the new Koolstops they replaced
-Shifting was spot on and the 6x3 gearing was good (34T cassettes are awesome!)
-The bike is quick and handling is tight, It really has that 1990 BC vibe!
Unfortunately the low and rigid front end isn't as comfortable for me as it was 31 years ago. I'm thinking about a handle bar and possible stem change. At the end of the day I want this bike to be a rider. Ultimate vintage accuracy isn't my goal.
I love this bike!
Let me know your thoughts/comments or just some good Blizzard memories.
