    1992 Rocky Mtn Blizzard - Bike auction find

    That's what I'm trying to do BC. Hence trying to return PMs of all the people that have expressed interest from the beginning. I'm going to have to start attending more auctions because it's quite apparent there are not enough Blizzards to go around. :)

    XT SL-M770 RapidFire Shifter Set - 3x9

    Cosmetics don't matter a whole lot as long as its in good working condition w/ Optical display. Canada or N. America preferred. Thanks

    1992 Rocky Mtn Blizzard - Bike auction find

    And here's a closer look at the Syncros Powerlite forks. They are 1-1/8" with 130mm steerer tube (33mm thread). Moderate amount of scratching but they are still in good condition, paint feels thick. Crown could use a nice polish. I will work at ping everyone back who expressed an interest...

    1992 Rocky Mtn Blizzard - Bike auction find

    Finally back with some better photos to show the condition of the frame/forks. Scrapes and scratches from 20+ of riding seems normal. A bit of rust here and there but doesn't seem like it was abused at all.

    1992 Rocky Mtn Blizzard - Bike auction find

    Hey everyone, just dropping a line to say I have forgotten you all. Busy week and crappy weather means I haven't been able to pull it out for photos. The sun is suppose to shine later this week.

    1992 Rocky Mtn Blizzard - Bike auction find

    Well, reluctantly I have decided to sell my Blizzard. I've received lots of interest so I know it will go to a good home. Most interest has been for the frame or forks so I'll probably part it out, but if anyone is interested in the complete bike please let me know. As soon as I get some dry...

    1992 Rocky Mtn Blizzard - Bike auction find

    Thanks for the clarification. My head is spinning from looking at everything available on ebay and Amazon. Also found out the middle chainring on my Kona is bent out of whack so I'll have the joy of trying to replace that now too. Bonus is that I'm going to learn a lot as I go. And for all...

    1992 Rocky Mtn Blizzard - Bike auction find

    I've been holding back that little piece of info on purpose. Not sure anyone would buy it from me if they knew the deal I got. ;) Just took it out for a little spin. Runs a little rough, as expected but shifts decent enough. I need to go buy some grease tomorrow and start the tune up. Any...

    1992 Rocky Mtn Blizzard - Bike auction find

    Trust me, it will be a tight squeeze. I picked up some davinici hooks and they will be going vertical. Thats my project this week.

    1992 Rocky Mtn Blizzard - Bike auction find

    RockiMtn - Thanks of the tip about the handlebars being on backwards. I will have to fix that right away. Or maybe search out a Syncros replacement. Cyclotoine - I use to ride mostly xc, single track. Nothing too crazy but have been known to go on giant allay rides that take us in a straight...

    1992 Rocky Mtn Blizzard - Bike auction find

    Thanks everyone for all your advice and gentle prodding. ;) I've decided i will fix both up and give the Rocky Mountain a shot on the rigid forks. Might be a few weeks as the Kona requires a few more pieces. Most notably half of one side of the rapid fire shifters. I'm guessing I will just need...

    Specialized Rockhopper year?

    That photo is a '97 Stumpjumper M2. Looks identical to the one some punk stole from me, cept my pedals were orange. I miss my baby. Brand new I paid around $1500 i think.

    1992 Rocky Mtn Blizzard - Bike auction find

    Re: Re: lol. Somehow I feel this group is just a little biased. ;) Maybe I can keep a separate suspension fork to switch out when I need a little added cushion. Do any of you do this? I've never ridden a rigid fork before so please do excuse my ignorance.

    1992 Rocky Mtn Blizzard - Bike auction find

    Re: Look at that, you're right. Most likely off a Nimbus. I think it looks amazing with the white forks in this colour scheme. And I'm falling more in love with it each day. I'm really not sure I could get used to a rigid fork though. This is the bike I have to decide between...

    1992 Rocky Mtn Blizzard - Bike auction find

    Interesting, I figured the white forks fit so well they must be the standard, but its hard to even find a photo of them on google. I will look for the serial number in the morning. Is there a data base you can search? Sorry for all the noob questions. CTK - what do you suppose the...

    2001 Kona Muni-Mula [needs work]

    I picked up a 2001 Kona Muni-Mula at a bike auction a few years back but its been sitting in a garage since. Time to finally get it in in good working order and get back in the saddle. The frame is in excellent condition, minor scratches, not much else. One of the shifters is missing the top...

    1992 Rocky Mtn Blizzard - Bike auction find

    I picked up what I think is a 1992 Rocky Mountain Blizzard at a local bike auction. Turns out the frame is too big for my wife, so I started to look into what I actually bought. Now I'm tempted to keep it but sadly only enough room for one in my shed. Was hoping you guys could give me some...

    1992 Rocky Mountain Blizzard...

    Do you have any updates on this project? I just bought myself a '92 Blizzard myself and am quickly learning what a deal I got. A quick question that maybe one of you can answer. I'm pretty sure its a 1992 from the black top/white paint job, but it has the Syncros Powerlite (white) forks which...
