1996 Rocky Mountain Speed

[Chickenball]

Well while waiting for parts for the Yeti, and to correct my failure, I came across this bad boy! Only 300 ever made and in pretty good shape. I am going to do a full XTR M95x build with it. Decals are being sourced, gil, and fork is on its way!

Wow ..nice
watching with interest

Ya' definately don't see these everyday. Only made in 1996?

I do believe 1996 and 1997. Not too much info on the Speed. Only 3 or 4 pictures online (google). The catalogue archive doesnt have english in 96 and the 97 is not clear enough.

I have to check my calendar....but I don't think I will be in country. Family just booked a trip to San Diego! LEGO LAND!

I've seen a few of these come up, but not many. Curious how it rides. What's the fork that's already on there? And what are you planning to replace it with?

 

[Chickenball]

Its a Pace fork.....can't remember the model though. I was going to replace it with a Judy XC.

Fork looks like PACE RC35 MCXD nice

Should I keep the Pace fork or should I go with the Judy? Spec sheet/pictures show a Judy. But the Pace fork is starting to grow on me! Also the other question is whether or not I got Grip Shift X-Ray's or XTR M95x shifters?
