[caseydc]

I've owned this bike for a number of years, a bought it off a friend around 1998 sadly he's no longer with us. so just thought i'd like to find out as much as i could about the bike before giving it a major over haul! can anyone help. i'm aware there's alot of non rocky mountain parts have been added to the bike over the years. i'm really curious about what the orginal bike is likey to of been?? the frame number is I90111165 and has a sticker on saying ritchey logic super tubing if any help. cheers casey.

i'd hazzard a guess at a nice Hammer.

Fluffycjicken posted some cataloge links in my thread here

91/92 maybe?

(looks like 91 colours with a 92 DX groupset)

Equipe came spec'd with DX. That, or a Hammer.

It's a 1991 Hammer, missing its top tube decal. You can tell it's a 91 because of the cable stops on the head tube.

90's rocky mountain

You mean I actually missed a guess my rocky mountain thread, really must stop going for sunday bimbles.

As above 1991 Rocky Mountain Hammer

The Ixxxxxxx serial is consistent with their mass produce steel bikes of the era as well.

taffy how does your serial number compare since they are the same year ?

help needed

can anyone help as i've hit a bit of a rutt restore my 91/92 rocky mountain hammer as i can not find the yellow frame decals anywhere. i've had plenty of luck sourcing all the dx components. also i'm un sure weather to stick with the amp fork setup or revert to the orginal tange forks? what are peoples opions on this??

 

[FluffyChicken]

Gil_m or manitou??? should be able to do them for you.

iirc Gil should have a close proof for similar and a re-type of the model to and a recolour should do it. Not sure how busy either of them are though.

Either fork is good, depends which you prefer to ride.

I've a 91 like yours (with a 92 paintjob in black) i ummed and ahhed over the same question but my choice was made easier by the modern (ish) suspension forks on it being cack so back to (the original by luck) rigid fork it was.

And TBH it's great nimble precise steering and a through joy to ride. more forgiving that a similar vintage Marin Rocky Ridge (suspension for that on it's way!) however the AMP forks are period correct and a good fork as well a tough decision.
