1993 Rocky Mountain Thunderbolt

[mk one]

last time i posted was

damn pathetic… still haven't finished this but has been rideable for quite some time. but i do have a small update to share.

finally installed the Real Design brake holders/pads. should have been years ago, but one of the grub screws was stuck tight. finally threw in the towel and called in reinforcements. shipped it off to @B3 and thanks to him, he dislodge it for me and all is good now.

now if i could only just get the wheelset built up, i could close this thread for good. maybe this will be the year.

but even though not finished, i'll at least treat everyone to a full bike profile shot which ppl have been waiting for.

finally after many years, i'll have the nukeproof ti hubs + mavic m231CD built for this. hopefully will get them soon. but for now i decided to throw on a more appropriate XTR m900 + Mavic m231 + Ritchey Zmax wheelset taken from one of the other bikes i recently sold.

now to decide what tyres to put on these!!!

hopefully shouldn't take me another 10 years!
