Re: Rocky Mountain Blizzard '96 anniversary version

Very nice Rock. Mountain!
These forks are the best choice, looks great.

Thanks! I'm thinking of getting Mavic x517 on XTR m900 hubs for my RTS and moving the crossmax wheels over to the Rocky. I think the crossmax will look better on the Rocky because they are more period correct than on the RTS.

Just skimmed over the thread and looking good. The MAG21 you have are 93 not 94. The 96 MAG if you wanted to fit some would be a Nickelite colour as per JudyXC.
Someone mention Powerlite, they had stopped before even the MAG21 came out.

Yeah, I'm using the Pace fork. The other options are just no good.

This is the seatpost/saddle. I think it'll look great

So far so good (IMHO).

Re: Rocky Mountain Blizzard '96 anniversary version

that's looking really nice. but those tyres are sooo FAT! :shock: in my opinion they are overpowering the rest of the bike, which is nicely balanced.

Re: Rocky Mountain Blizzard '96 anniversary version

he took the words right out my mouth!!
tyres are far too balloon like, needs black wall tyres too,
they're spoiling the elegant lines of the frame i think! otherwise, nice!

I have some Schwalbe fast freddy's that are 2.1" and a dark coloured skinwall (maybe they're just dirty). I just used these wheels/tires to mock-up the bike. They are from my GT RTS.

Re: Rocky Mountain Blizzard '96 anniversary version

2.1 would be better, maybe even 1.95.
