Thanks to the articles and awesome RM build threads on this site (and a donor bike), I was able to resurrect my old Hammer over the Christmas holidays. A pristine restoration wasn't in the cards and I figured it deserved more than rat bike status so I went with a practical solution paying respect to Tom Ritchey along the way. Here are the specs:
1992 Rocky Mountain Hammer Enduro
(Catalogue specs in brackets where they differ from current build)
Frame Ritchey Logic Cro-Mo
Fork Rocky Mountain Custom Unicrown
Handlebars Ritchey ProLite Butted Easton EA70 Alum (RM Heat Treated Alum), Ritchey True Grips
Stem Cro-Mo (RM Cro-Mo)
Seatpost Kalloy Alum (RM Heat Treated Cro-Mo)
Saddle Ritchey Logic Comp Lite (Vetta Air)
Headset Ritchey Logic
Crankset Shimano Deore DX 24-36-46 “SG” Round Chainrings
Pedals Shimano Deore DX (SR Lowfat)
Derailleurs Shimano Deore DX with Deore DX Top Mount Thumbshifters
Brakes Shimano Deore DX “SLR Plus” Low Profile Canti, BL-MT63 2-Finger Levers
Hubs Shimano Deore DX, 12-25 “HG” Cogs
Rims Ritchey Vantage Comp
Tires Innova 26 x 2.1 Studded (Ritchey MegaLite “Hardrive” 26 x 2.1)
Colour Azure/Purple
I took it for a test spin today. Attached are some pics.
