Rocky Mountain Blizzard 93

Neil - get those blizzards done before that other bike frame arrives from NZ!!!

took the bike totally apart today (the headset came out by hand!) and the thing is beautiful. there is hardly a scratch on her - some t-cut and she will shine!!

graftons are perfect, but i'll sell them as i'm not going blingy with this one as its a race bike after all so full xt with some smart hubs(yet to be decided)

the fork crown bolts are seized and i may have to drill them out.

syncros post cleaned up well and is off to be re-anodized! will go for a canadian build with this one.

got some nos bontrager bcr 2 or 1 rims on their way now!!


pics to follow - its too dark now

Gump, let's see that '96. I love the paint scheme on that year!

certainly is tape!! - with a layer of old inner tube underneath! cheapset and easiest to replace chainstay protector!!

use on most bikes
