Guess the frame

[defender8337]

Not in bad shape at all for a 30yr old steel frame, anyone guess what it is?
Unfortunately the top of the seat tube has been hacked off!

Throw my hat into the ring and say a rocky mountain?

Yep you’re right there

You can read that from the dropouts

My eyesight isn't that good, was more the seat tube/stay design that was the clue for me.

I think an even more coarse shot blast is required. Could the blasters not tell it was a bicycle frame and not a cast iron garden gate!?!

Tange steel.
Not oversized tubes
blizzard

Would be a shame to cover that brazing up, but what paint is going on?

I love the brazing, it is a shame to cover it.
Frame number makes it a 95 blizzard but there was white and a peppermint green under the grotty primer.
Think I’m going to go with a white and a ghost blue pearl lacquer, maybe even do some ghost red maple leaves if I can find some decent stencils.

It was guess the year too. Too late for me, but I would have guessed 94 or 95 based on the seat tube.
