Rocky Mountain Blizzard '96 anniversary (finished, kinda)

Re: Rocky Mountain Blizzard '96 anniversary version

Nice! It's cool to see two bikes the same built differently...

Wide tires are nice (mine are monsters) but I think the gum wall is what makes them look bigger)

Here's mine for a side by side comparison.

Yeah, I know. Those tires won't stay.

Re: Rocky Mountain Blizzard '96 anniversary version

I got some nice, almost new, Raceface chainrings in black. And I sourced a pair of XTR m910 hubs and Mavic X517 CD rims (one is a ceramic one). But the m910 hubs came out in 1995 I think, while this frame is from 1996, so it should have the grey XTR m950 hubs. What do you guys think? Go for the silver parallax XTR hubs (with Ti free-hub), or find some grey ones? Or go for something different? And what about the rims? They look identical, but one is ceramic and one is normal.

Hmmm I think the bike came with XT, not XTR, see the catalog:

Yes, I know it came with XT, but it also came with a black Judy. I'm also not using that

I found some time to mount the Raceface rings. I stole the wheels from my other bike and mounted 2.1" Jimmy's They look very skinny to me.
