Rocky Mountain Altitude frame

[iveto1983]

I think it might be here tomorrow, got shipping confirmation this morning.
I have a 1991 Blizzard that is a small 17", that I'm stripping for parts, and giving to my Dad.
Shouldn't take me long to build, I'll post pics as soon as I get it anyway though.

That's an Explosif or even Kilauea price. I would say it's quite cheap for an Altitude if the chainstay rust was surface-in. However with RMs, it is possible that it is inside-out, in which case it would be a very expensive price. If the seller had been wise, he would have made this clear (perhaps he did to someone privately? I didn't ask)

But if it proves to be serious rust, I think you could send it back. On my reading, his description didn't warn of any serious problem so he hasn't cleared himself against that.

I think he's been as honest as he could be. He makes no claims that the rust is only skin deep; rust is there- Caveat emptor!
It put me off.

yep, the non descript mention put me off a high bid. Already have one swiss RM thank you!
£150 would be a good gamble.

Just noticed this thread

Also it's a buy and strip of a recently purchased full bike if I remember that frame correctly.

was the bike I'm thinking of.

The winning bidder is 12-28's alter buying ego.

Nice looking frame.

Got the forks, stem and headset off a 93 altitude on my hammer and they ride beautifully.

Shame the frame is an inch too small really, this would of replaced it perfectly.

Since I made that connection above in my post as I was just checking it out (since the bikes said person had just bought complete, where then available by 12-28 in parts... GT, Orange, Rocky etc..

Riddled with rust... and negative..
I really hope it's not as bad as he fedback
