Looks great. All the right details covered in your parts selection.

I had the white Blizz out for a little off road shake down last weekend. It was a nice clear day out but the trail was mucky. Good fun! It's nice to have a little splatter on the white paint. Everything worked great and felt super solid. -Tires are rad. I love nothing more then to look down...

Thanks!

Very cool frame! I've never one before. That lower plate frame gusset is a nice detail. In some ways it reminds me of my 1991 Rocky Mountain Cirrus as it's also an elevated raw aluminum frame. What's the plan for the build?

The bike is basically done. It rolls, stops, and now shifts. Finally ready for a proper fall trail ride! -The 5mm Shimano housing was worth the wait, it cuts nice and feels like quality. -Black Oury grips added -The Dear Head friction shifter works great on the 8spd cassette but is rather...

Re: Progress made, but not finished. The Shimano 5mm shift cable is shipping from China and it's taking a while... The chain is on! This is my first U-brake experience so I had to play around with the springs awhile to get it right. The cable routing on this bike is also very funky! That...

Re: Looks great! I love simple black on black on black look. Such great details on that frame. Definitely trick construction.

Re: This is probably the first Titanium bike part I encountered. I remember them being mostly a LONG 150mm. Nice to see in a more modern, usable length. GLWS

Re: -American Classic QR for the front wheel -Paul Funky Monkey cable hanger (modified to fit 2mm cable) -Brodie magnesium spacers for the Gorilla booster for a secret exotic touch

Re: Great colour combo on that Hammer. I rolled the Blizzard down the alley this afternoon to get a little daylight on the situation... It was nice to coast on the bike for 20 feet.

A little progress update: Rigid fork is installed! It looks very at home on this bike and instantly brings it back to 1990. I love the fat tubes with no taper. They actually flair out a couple of mm near the dropout. Parts ordered: -KMC Chain -U-brake pads -Shimano SP51 5mm shift housing

Re: I just went through the fork mix and match exercise with my '90 Blizzard built. (see post) and my bike also has a 100mm head tube. You need about 130mm minimum. I'm liking your build so far. The steel vertex is a rare one for sure. Great colour too. The high mounted brazed seat stays...
