Now let me think about this :? . . . :idea: I got it !The answer is -1 Rocky Mountain Avalanche .

Am I right ?

Well , that was short lived euphoria wasn't it !

I can build a nice pair of wheels though :roll:

Re: 1997 Rocky Mountain Altitude t.o.

the answer is 'i'... also known as an imaginary number...

speaking of avalanche... I DO have one too many... I think two is too many avalanches... =)

Re:

Can't have it I'm afraid . Went up to my loft and saw my Syncros stem is a 1 1/8" .
It's a message from God . :shock: He's saying " get a Rocky Mountain with a 1 1/8" steerer or I'll punish you with thoughts of a 29er !

Update:

Sooo... decided to go with a Titanium Theme:

- Syncros Ti seatpost
- Titec Ti Bar
- Real Ti "look" chainrings
- Ti crank bolts

Also some other changes:
- Red anno chainring bolts
- Red CK headset top part and top cap
- longer Black grips
- Sanded the stem down to prep it for yellow paint... I will finish it after a test ride (once I know it's the correct length for sure)

The front wheel is the correct one... the rear is just a place holder for now...

Missing:
- Front XRT M953 high mount 28.6 tp derailleur... anyone? =)
- rear red atak hub... anyone?...
- Wider syncros / Moots aluminum bar shim... the black titec one is ok but a wider one would look better... anyone?...
- front M950 28h hub... I have a rear so if I get a set I could build up a set with the gray ceramic hoops... either this set or the red atak set... not sure but I would like both for future builds...

Check out the pics and let me know of any other suggestions =)

sooo... Just picked up another stem... I still might paint the white one yellow but this one will do for now =)

Also thanks to timoshenko for the sweeeeet Critical Racing skewers and a nice wide shim! Thanks!

Re:

Looking good !
I like those funky skewers and definitely looks better with that stem and bar combo . The search for a 28 hole hub continues :roll:
Keep up the good work brother

Great bike!
Think about leaving that red stem, if you paint that one yellow maybe it'll be too much?

Re:

Thanks both of you! Yea, I know what you mean about the yellow overload =)
