Blizzard in Kent

[Anthony]

1995 model, but it looks like a size 19.5 to me and certainly not a 16.

Those Bombers are surely about 60mm longer than the Mag 21s it was designed for. Good bike though.

gone?

 

[gump]

yep taken off sale...

 

[cchris2lou]

shame , for once there is a bike local to me . :?

 

[gump]

There were no bids, so guess they were getting nervous.

Good buy for £50!!

I already have one the same awaiting full on resto....
Though will be resprayed white, as thats what Blizzards should be.

 

[cchris2lou]

Although most weren't, of course.

Can you get retro RM decals anywhere? Modern decals look atrocious on retro frames IMO. Lack of suitable decals was one of the things that put me off buying that cheap 95 Equipe t'other day.

I remember reading somewhere that all Blizzards were black and white . no other colours .

I know many aren't white. They made some mistakes

Was going to put some effort in with Gil to get the artwork sorted.
Might be useful if more interested as will be quite a bit of work.

PM me details of what year/colours etc and will try and collate.

Hiya Gump

Thought this might be of interest – I've already re-created the early '90s RM graphics (except for the DuPont graphic from the top tube – mine got trashed a long time ago)

The headtube badge is done in Illustrator (4 colour process) and the Main tube logotypes are done in InDesign (though I could easily convert to Illustrator)

I was thinking of offering up my artwork in exchange for Gil outputing a set for me – having already invested the time in recreating it, it seems daft for someone else to do so too. Perhaps the three of us can work something out

I've attached a jpeg of the artwork as stands – let me know what you think

Cheers
