Before i threw out all my very old MBUKs and brochures and stuff... sob, sniff, etc... I had a Rocky Mountain catalog from early-mid 90s, showed one of the models being ridden through mud, with scott uni-shocks fitted, does anyone know what model they were fitted to?? (if any!)
What Rocky Mountain?

I looked through the catalogues I have and found a muddy picture of one with a shock that I cannot identify - the shock is white and has a set of world champion stripes on it...the frame is an Altitude...I'll try to scan the picture and post it.

I think I have it here from the 1993 RMB catalogue...if you'd like a higher res version of this scan, pm me, it's a 4.5MB file. The bike frame in the photo is actually a 1992 Altitude. This would not have been a stock set-up, I'm reckoning. The stock version came with the Syncros version of the Switchblades. I think Rocky only ever specced Rock Shox and Marzocchi for suspension forks.
I checked out a couple of details. Seems that Ruthie Mathes won the 1991 MTB World Champ title on the Scott Unishock, hence the probable reason for the stripes on the one in the photo.
There was a recall of the Scott Unishock as well, although not the ones with the white fork legs.

Hi!
Rocky Mountain did have a bike here in the UK with Scott Unishocks, it had a Suntour Microdrive groupset too, can't remember the name but it was a dark metallic green colour with black forks...they reviewed it in MBi and I have a copy somewhere......I'll try and dig it out!
Cheers

It is a bit odd how the pros can/will use stuff that isn't exactly sponsor approved.
The one I always think of is the Litespeed time trial bike (labelled with Trek stickers) that Lance Armstrong used in his first Tour win.
