2001 Rocky Mountain RM6 upgrade

[yeti_bomb]

Last year I built up one of my RM6s as a singlespeed. Had some fun on it but hung it up for a future upgrade. Now that I have a bunch of parts leftover from the Yeti DH6 no build I'm ready to update this frame. Should be a fun DH ride when complete. Here is some before shots.

Re:

The bike is just finished in time for a Fathers Day weekend ride. Feels pretty good around the house already. Looking forward to some DH runs tomorrow early AM.

Hey... realize this is an old thread. I just joined the site. Can't see how to msg u directly. I was just given (what I believe to be) a 2001 RM6 frame. It's in rough shape and it's been painted. Not exactly sure what I'm gonna do with it yet. I tinker with bikes, painted a few, built a few etc. however I don't know much about these bikes. Few questions that I'm hoping u may have the answer to
1. How do u measure frame size on these
2. I often see red/ black colorway. Were there any other colors (I see the occasional silver w yellow lettering)
3. For the red black, is the black w white lettering a sticker or paint?
4. Any things to look out for (becides the forward shock mount cracking)?
