1993 Rocky Mountain Blizzard

[troje]

Beautiful! With all the right Syncros stuff on it, this surely will be a great bike! What's your idea on brakes? As you intend to use it, instead of making a mint garage queen, I can imagine you'd go for V brakes?

Ritchey canti,s with the red pads would look good

 

[Chris]

Not made my mind up on the brakes yet but they will definitely be cantis.

Don't like to have a hanger on the frame and not use it, and no I won't be putting mudguards on just because I have mounts

That is very, very nice! Subscribing for updates!

Seeing all that lovely Canadian-ness (a word?) makes me want to stand up and sing...


ahem.....

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.


signing in for updates. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

I've been looking for an 18.5" Rocky Mountain for ages since selling my 17.5" hammer as it was just too small.

Just curious. How tall are you? and what's your inseam?

cheers

5ft 9" with a 31" inside leg.

Don't get me wrong the bike wasn't tiny but just felt a shade small

Small update,

been tinkering in the garage tonight and set about my revolution cranks.

They were very scuffed and in need of a repaint so I attacked them with nitromors and a wire wheel.

Partly because it needed doing and partly through curiosity and I needed to satisfy myself that the underlying steel was sound.

It is

what you doubted what i had sent you wasn't sound??? :?

can't believe that's the same set i sent you. those look nice just like that! :shock:

you gonna paint them a unique colour???
