My start of the weekend can't be any better, as this is what was delivered to me today
It's a 1994 Rocky Mountain Altitude in 19.5" size. Frankly, I cannot believe how well it survived the 18 years. It's used and ofcourse marks here and there, the occasional chainsuck and some paint is chipped off. But the paint itselfs looks like new and the decals have some marks but still look great.
I'm puzzled with the colour. When you look at the picture in the brochure, you would think the '94 edition is mostly silver. But in reality, it's a great two tone of silver and green, very much depending on the angle you look at it.
This is not going to be a weekend build. Partly because I don't have all parts lying around, but mainly because I haven't made up my mind yet on what to fit. I'm a big fan of Syncros and I think it should be equipped with a Mag21. But what about the wheels, brakes and shifters? Turbine LP's are almost mandatory, but can I find them in the red/purple kind of anodizing style, similar to the seat collar? And the same dilemma for the headset, the brochure version shows a RaceFace aheadset in that same colour...
