Seeking validation... of the lfgss type... first iteration of this ‘95 Rocky Mountain Blizzard with hopelessly period incorrect parts is complete and in need of further upgrades as always.
The XTR v brakes feel like nothing compared to Avid’s cheap alternatives from around the same time. I’ve never ridden a bike with flat bars and don’t intend to any longer than this morning’s first ride. Rapid rise derailleur is confusing as hell and the wheels are pretty shot. Maybe a different saddle would look better? New decals might bring the cranks to life too.
