Looks spot on, not overdone with the ano & everything just looks right

Beginning to like older RM's after almost buying one earlier in the year, had a test ride & loved it

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!

I've got a couple of Blizzards myself (94 & 95), love 'em to death. I think mine are a 16" and 15" so I'm guessing yours is a 14"? Looks great in that small size anyway!

I think it is an 14". It's my wife's bike.

That's pretty! It's a 1998 bike and I think that must be the 14.5 size. It's taken from the centre of the bb to the top of the seat tube.

The white with blue/black letters of the 1998 Blizzard looks really classic, much better than any of the white Konas IMO. Here is the 98 catalogue picture from Bikepedia for comparison.

Hi,

We bought it late 1997 so I think we bought one of the first 1998 models.

I love this. Now seriously thinking of a blue white theme on my Lava Dome.
