Suggestions for old Rocky Mountain Fusion

mcvw · May 22, 2010

Hi,

I got hold of an old Rocky Moutain frame and forks (serial I91101716) - but not really sure what to do with it.

Was thinking of making it into either a weekend hack, or a single speed (for razzing to & from train station).

Oh yeah... it's a metallic purple/pink colour (razzberry as per Rocky Mountain catalogue) lol!

Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Mike

1992 one ?

Make nice little bikes for the wife.

or ex-wife as the case may be lol!

Any suggestions regarding suspension forks?

If it is the 1992 , keep em short as it's designed around the none suspension corrected forks.
MAG20/21 sort of thing and it'll be fine. But just keep it rigid will be fine.

Just a note, they came in dual sizing frame size (centre to top) and top tube size at this level. So if you have an 18" frame it may have a 17" length top tube for example.

It looks a smallish frame - tbh I haven't measured it yet

I really wanted to put suspension forks on it. Probably best to sell/trade it for a different frame?

Can you get some pic's up and a confirmation on the frame size please

I'll put some pics up tomorrow night.

Let me know what measurements you'd like.

Rockies are measured Centre of Bottom Bracket to Top of Seat Tube tube.
Also you may need to measure the top tube length

Ok... Frame info:

- length of top tube = 21.5"
