1993 Rocky Mountain Thunderbolt

[RockiMtn]

no, not yet. if you've gone through the entire thread, lots of things i still need to address before that will happen.

 

[Hotwheels.]

I did go through every page, just thought since you started it 4 months ago it'd be done. Alas, a new project now looms for you, T-minus 5 days now is it?

 

[RockiMtn]

yes it doesn't help that i have three other projects i'm concurrently working on. and now a fourth on the horizon.

as for this one, still need to rebuild the rear wheel, rebuild the fork and find a solution to my fork brace/front brake issue.

 

[RockiMtn]

not had a chance to rebuild the fork yet.

i did however receive some nice goodies from Mr.Toad yest.

i think the set of silver Joe's canti brakes will adorn my Thunderbolt. not sure on the Grafton levers yet.

 

[Mr.Toad]

Hooray for updates!

 

[RockiMtn]

started work on rebuilding the rear wheel. swapped out the bad hoop and loosely laced in a NOS replacement. thanks to PeteC for the assist on the new hoop. this after already sourcing a complete wheelset to get at some hoops, which now is of no real use to me. :roll:

also installed the set of Syncros COM on to the cranks which i hadn't gotten around to till now.

 

[RockiMtn]

i've decided to pull out the Ti axles from a set of champaigne coloured Ritchey WCS pedals and swapping them into a set of more appropriate coloured blue/black versions that have CroMo axles.

 

[Mr.Toad]

Build is looking great, very classy.

Good choice the the Ritchey pedals as well. I'm a big fan of the WCS's!

 

[RockiMtn]

the blue/black aren't WCS, just standard Ritchey affair. but i'm stealth upgrading them to be.

believe WCS pedals only came in champaigne. :?

Man, I just can't get enough of that crank! Way cool with those rings!
