1995 Rocky Mountain "the Edge"

[RockiMtn]

Just when I thought enough was enough, I negotiated yet another pick-up. :roll: Got this delivered today at work, and couldn't resist opening it up to have a gander!

Not the 1993 steel front triangle I've been searching for, but it will do… for now. :twisted:

Paint is a little worse for wear than I would like, this may be stripped and repainted sometime in the future, along with a few other projects. :roll: Fairly sure this should have had a seat tube with slanted top, guessing it got cut straight as those angled seat clamp binders wasn't the best design idea.

Came with a Risse shock, as well as two spare stock shocks and a titanium spring.

Great frame! Did they come stock with the carbon chainstays?

 

[RockiMtn]

not carbon. just black paint on the lower arms.

I was all prepared to build this up this past long w/e, but I've run into a problem with the frame.

This is what I had pulled together to hang on to this project. The most complete assembly of full XTR m900 for a bike for me, STI, canti brakes, headset, bb, crank/rings, f/r mech, and hubs/cassette/QRs laced to Mavic 231. only two items missing would have been an XTR seatpost (replaced with Syncros Ti), chain and a XTR QR seatbinder (not needed on this frame). The rest consisted of an Amp F3 XC fork (of course!), Syncros stem, bar and Ti seatpost, and I thought I finally found an appropriate place to use my red/brown Ritchey Zmax tyres.

I'm hoping I can sort on the issue with the frame and that this won't be the last update on this build thread.

What's the frame problem?

You can always roll those wheels over to me I've been half-assed looking for a nice set to go on my Zaskar LE build.

 

[RockiMtn]

the Edge has been returned! had to put a collar on the bottom of the headtube, and to even things out in the way it looks, a second one was installed on the top. thanks goes out to megaguy for addressing the problem and doing the work.

Nice (another ) build you have there.
I like the wheels a lot for that bike.

 

[zonoskar]

What a shame. But I guess it's better than scrapping it.

 

[yeti_bomb]

Whatever happened to this frame?

 

[RockiMtn]

still have it. kind of on the back burner, not sure what to do with it.
