Retro mountain bikes

So nice! Love these socketed dropouts. And every other detail on that frame!

Thanks! Found a 1997 Judy SL (same year as the frame) this weekend so will soon have it a bit closer to how I always wanted it.

Haven't been on this site for a while! Here's my '88 Rocky Mountain Avalanche, currently awaiting a new set of decals:

Looks awesome. Lovely thin tubing - bet it rides wonderfully. You just need some green on there now to match the seat tube decal ;)

That’s wicked not seen such an old one. When do RM date from? I’ve got a ‘94 blizzard and despite it being a bit bent (I think!) it rides like no other bike I’ve been on.

What are those shifters? Hard to tell.

Thanks. Green? As in "Wildgripper"? Gave a set to my brother as I'm not really a fan of them.

Here together with its younger brother.

That Ritchey looks like a blast to ride!

Nor sure of the first RM but definitely 86 or earlier. I'm a big fan of the mid 90's RM Blizzards - post a pic! (apologies if you've already done so in this thread...) Those shifters are first gen Suntour XC, little bit anachronous but hey.

They both are. 😊

Akways been a RM fan too (from 1991, the year I started mountainbiking on).

Maybe a repost. My 1994 Breezer Thunder.

Same story, maybe a repost. I'm finalizing some of my "98% finished" builds so that's a good moment to take some pics.

Added an XT post and a Flite to my 1991 Look Mi90.

Last one for today. My 1995 Scott Team Racing.

This is almost too good, the Breezer is also utterly amazing. Fantastic job!

Thanks mate. The Breezer is really a joy to ride. The Scott is nice too but the judy xc is pretty wobbly, not my favourite Rock Shox. The Look is a mistery so far, never really ridden it as I didn't have a decent seatpost for it untill last week.

mad collection!

Nice...

This is quite a lot of bike for the cash.

A very retro muddy fox and not so retro Scott’s
