Can anyone tell me about the geometry/sizing of 92 RM's?

I used to constantly change from 16" to 18" early 90's Konas as I could never decide which I preferred. I'm considering a 92 Blizzard which is 19" centre to top and don't know if it will be too big. I have a 93 Fusion which is 17" centre to top and this is maybe slightly to small. Was the geometry different between Blizzards and Fusions or did it differ between 92 and 93?

Any info appreciated, I really want this Blizzard to fit!!

Thanks

All your answers re-size, angles are in the archive catalogues.

The Fusion is a bit more relaxed fit as it's target at that segment. Blizzards also have a relaxed fit compared to the all out racing of the Altitude and race series.

Check you fusion isn't of the Short top tube (STT) models.
19" is my size (I have the '93 Altitude). I ride a 20" '91 Altitude and it for me is right, memory serves they are quite similar in real size.

My Fusion '92 at 18" is the short top tube version (so same as the 17" in length)
It is way to small, not just the length, but the frame. Fun in the Snow or a quick short jolly.

Just under ~5' 10" with 34" inside leg for comparison.


One advantage you have is if you buy the Blizzard, assuming it's not over priced, and it doesn't fit. You've learnt something and they're not the most difficult bike to resell
Especially at 19".


Was your Hammer (red one) also 17" ?
for convenience and slightly higher quality.

Shame you're not up here as you could borrow mine to test.

I've a 96 Blizzard in 19, standover is sweet with these and keep in mind they measure to the top of the seat tube.

However it is longer than my 18 Voodoo and to compensate I put a Bontrager big sweep bar on it.

Though I agree if you have the spare readies and are prepared to spend time to resell just buy and try
