Always lusted after a Rocky Mountain Blizzard back in the day, remember one in white with all the black shiny syncros kit - was my dream bike when I bought my Aluminium O from Freetown in Hull LOL
19.5" too large sadly
I managed to Bag a RM Blizzard not long ago from a member on here...definately one nice bike to ride I can tell you, great in the singletrack
. New RPP is pretty full on though now (over £800) but I think there are a few shops still selling older 2008/2009 ones though for around £350/400. Not sure what year it was but they did a lovely blue to white fade

Seriously looking at saving my pennies for a modern, steel HT.
Quite taken by the Cotic Soul.
So, let me know your thoughts, possible alternatives, and some Cotic Soul build pics
I think I would end up with the small 16", am 5'8" and 28" inside leg.
I am going to keep my eyes peeled for a nice 2nd hander.
Apologies for modern content, loving browsing the retro rides, and reminiscing of days gone, but I really would like a simple modern steel HT that takes disks, isn't built like a tank and will last me a very long time!
Cheers,
Steve
Hey Bud this any good :shock: , i know you mentioned a small..if not good luck with the search

Pace RC104 XC
Chaps,
just saw that Chain Reaction are doing the Pace RC104 XC for £456 - and I can get 10% off with a paypal voucher.
Worth considering?
They have none in stock, but assume they are special order.
Anyone seen or heard anything about them?
They are very pretty and a bit different!
Cheers,
Steve

Just spoke to a nice lady at Pace.
The frame is so new, there are no magasine reviews.
It is a lovely looking frame, but she told me the weight was 2.35kg, which I think is 5.18lbs - seems proper heavy! must be all that fillet brazing and the sliding rear dropouts?!
Not sure what market they are aiming for at that weight!
It is pretty though!

Re: Pace RC104 XC
This was my "other" option if I didn't get a Soul.
Had a play with a built up one and it is a wonderful looking frame.
But compared with the Soul it is more XC as it is designed for a 100mm fork.
Pace sent me a catalog which had a load of details in about the frame.
Personally I would hold out for a Soul.
I have been so happy with mine to the point that I am sure it is the best riding bike I have owned. :shock:
I am also looking for a small for the wife
