1990 Rocky Mountain Blizzard - REBUILD

[Woodsie]

If you want a black syncros stem instead of that silver one send me a pm as I have a couple I'm not using and I'm just up the road from you.

Great story I have a 90 Blizzard
Serial no is 696

 

[Coquitlam Geoff]

I have Blizzard 696 same year

 

[FluffyChicken]

Nice, I also have no numbers for blizzards that year so added to my serial number database, not very long, hope you don't mind
Stem is currently fitted is a 1994 + ish version if that matter,

Re: 1990 Blizzard

My understanding on this is that a tioga T bone stem would had been the option if you did not pay up for a fillet brazed RM stem
I have the Tioga on mine

Really nice project. Love the patina on that frame.

A little progress update:

Rigid fork is installed!
It looks very at home on this bike and instantly brings it back to 1990.
I love the fat tubes with no taper. They actually flair out a couple of mm near the dropout.

Parts ordered:
-KMC Chain
-U-brake pads
-Shimano SP51 5mm shift housing

Here is it's first cousin, 1990 Hammer, all original parts except white paint and spurious decals.

Re:

Great colour combo on that Hammer.

I rolled the Blizzard down the alley this afternoon to get a little daylight on the situation... It was nice to coast on the bike for 20 feet.

-Paul Funky Monkey cable hanger (modified to fit 2mm cable)
-Brodie magnesium spacers for the Gorilla booster for a secret exotic touch
