Ok, so... did a quick mock-up...

NOTE: I am going to sandblast and re-paint the frame... this was just a 5 minute sharpie marker job so I could see how it would look in it's final colour

Down the road I would like to replace the group with a complete Black M735 group (black hubs, black crank, black brakes) but these will do for now

that's a hell of a lot of sharpie there. looks good, you should leave it that way and be done with it!

Thanks! But I'm still gonna repaint it =)

I'm going to blast and respray both this blizzard and the avalanche this spring... They are both OK but I want them to have perfect paint, just like my fat city flyer and vertex =)

Looks like a cool project

That's going to be beautiful, I'm glad it's in the hands of someone who'll do it justice.

Thanks! Ever since I first got into mountain bikes a couple years ago I have always wanted a 1991 or 1992 blizzard... a few passed through my hands but nothing my size (this one is perfect)

I had originally wanted a 1991 with powerlite fork and I have a spare powerlite fork in my shop but I have grown to actually like the tange struts quite a bit so I'll be sticking with it... I'll save the powerlite for another project
