Rocky Mountain Blizzard 1994 - Update 26.01.13

[FluffyChicken]

Just out of curiosity, any ideas on the relevance of the BB Shell Number?: BL41249

BLizzard, 1994 number 1249
or something else

Just Hit me that would be the case as I was reading it back...Ta! Ben...

It's not gospel or necessarily true, I just made it up and it seemed to fit. the 'L' had me thinking for a minute though.

Looking like a plan is coming together there
Still expecting an RM team for one of the Nats rides

Dropped off at the Framebuilder/Paintshop tonight. Says he'll have it done this week! :shock: Now that's Service!!! Just need to ask him about seatpost...
National RM Team?? I need a new Sports Masseur to sort my never ending/never getting round to get it sorted knee injury!

I don't think those are fillets, but TIG welds that have been chemically peeled and sand blasted?

Deffo Brazed! (So says my Frame Builder Mate) The TIG Welds are the Front Triangle & the Bottom Bracket junction joining the Chain Stays. Seat Tube & Seat Stay Junction as per the pic are Fillet Brazed, as are every boss for cables/droputs/cantilever hanger bridge.

No word yet from Framebuilder so no progress on any building...Just a random few Pics of some tyres I picked up. Managed to get 2x Pairs.
Ritchey WCS ZMax Kevlar 1.7 Flavour. Nice & Skinny. Really liked these BITD. Used to Race on these, memories of Midlands Series dry, dusty tracks over at Astley over by Stourport.

are WCS versions always kevlar even if not marked?

Looking at the BikePro Site Frank, their table listings for WCS are all Kevlar.

It would be a bit odd having their top of the top tyre using steel bead

'WCS' means the best we do. Our race stuff.

so what difference if any with the "K" Megabyte Z-max vs WCS version if both are Kevlar?
