Thanks guys! Yeah.......that was 90's DH technology for you. :facepalm: :lol: It was actually useful when I used this bike for racing, but it's anything but comfortable. It's gone now! Took me a while to figure out what to replace it with. Maybe if I was still in my 20's it would be...

Definitely made them more springy, but it was nicer for doing downhill runs.......well, that is, as downhill runs went in the mid '90's. Certainly wouldn't want to try it on something they bomb down today. :shock: :lol: For the purple frame, I have been watching a bunch of Judy's on Ebay...

I won't sell my spare, but I could do a 2D drawing or a 3D model of the rocker if someone want's to venture down that road. Sorry, don't have access to Solidworks, only Inventor. They're pretty easy to make and they only use skate board bearings which are easy to find. The trick is the spacer...

I've been getting this one ready for riding after a long while with it buried in the back of the garage. I recently had knee surgery and my PT guys says I need to do some bike riding. It's been a long time and I think it will be fun getting back into it. I don't really think I need to go out and...

Good eye! Yeah, I made a bunch of the long travel rockers, maybe about ten or so, way back when. There was another company making them that I basically just copied. I didn't make very many because I only had a manual mill, no CNC, and it took too long to make them for what I could sell them...

Ah, thanks, that's what I was looking for. So mine was probably a frame only meant to be sold in '94, maybe '95, it just never sold and collected dust till I came along in '97. Considering the difference between a Team and a 1 is the parts they use on the assembled bikes, it makes sense a frame...

I think that would make Momma very unhappy. :shock: Happy wife, happy life! :wink:

Wow, so are they that hard to find? Or was it a super clean NOS frame? You remember what year it said it was?

OK, went out and took a few more pics. I couldn't get a good shot of the ser#, it's covered by the swingarm. I did get some other tell, tale shots though. This is all the decal says, kind of a good shot to see the anodized finish; Has the flat end cap; Unfortunately no 6061 decal like my...

RTS-3 would be a Taiwan bike and powder coated, not anodized. If anything, this would be an RTS-1. The stickers are what was on it when I bought it. I don't imagine the bike shop would bother changing the stickers back when this was new. No cracks on this one. The frame is about as close to...

So, I've been looking around trying to find more info on this purple ano RTS frame I have, and it seems every time I start reading about one it turns out to be one of the powder coated frames. There doesn't seem to be a lot of info out there. Are they a rare item? The main thing I'm curious...
