1991 Rocky Mountain Nimbus

Hello Retrobikers, I have been a long time member, but not really a forum contributor. I bought and sold stuff (mostly buy). I owned a number of mountain bikes in the early 90s including a 1991 Rocky Mountain Nimbus which was destroyed by my friend, his garage, and a Thule roof rack :(. Back in...

Klein Adroit 95 budget build, finished p15

This is my next build, just picked it up today.95 20” Adroit in Painted Desert, I have some parts for the build already, but will need to save up some pennies to acquire the missing parts. This like my other bikes will be a rider, I do still want it to be a head turner though. Not sure which...

Right then, I’ll guess I’ll give it a shot? Here’s my cannondale super v 900 from 1996. Like the second one above just a working bike though very nice to ride and I think it deserves it, there has been only one cannondale of the month, but I won’t be mean and vote for my own and I’ll vote for that chrome cannondale before this!

I hope everyone a good botm!

Disclaimer, this is not what the bike looks like now. The bike is now in pieces but will be getting a new life with some better stuff

The nomination for October BoTM is my 1995 Gary Fisher Cronus - finally restored earlier this month.

More info is posted in the MTB Readers bike section at https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/gary-fisher-cronus-1995.452843/#post-3315073.

It was a rather emotional journey to see this frame and fork making it through unexpected sickness, then a rescue out of a fiery inferno, and finally brought back to life and old glory, thanks to an awesome custom bike builder who stepped in. I am sure Gary Fisher himself would approve our decision to add a little Phoenix decal to his frame, indicative of the journey this bike has been on.
