What a busy 4 months its been!
What started with a simple frame swap has evolved into a full blown build for 2 bikes. Being as these are both Rocky's, it seemed only fitting to use RaceFace parts when possible.
The only thing still in use on the Hammer are the On-One Mary bars. Everything else has been replaced. Part of the build plan was to eliminate as many black parts as possible. I wanted to make blue the primary color with a little orange to tie in the graffics.
Here is the parts list now;
On-One Mary bars, custom painted to match the frame
RaceFace lock-on grips, Orange
Avid Elixir R brakes, 185 rotors
FSA 90mm, -6 degree stem, also painted to match
FSA headset, blue
King spacers, blue
Sram X9 10 speed shifter
Sram X9 10 speed deraileur, white
Jagwire cable, orange
Mowa cable clips, orange
Selle Anatomica Titanico saddle, brown
RaceFace Next carbon seatpost
Salsa clamp, blue
RaceFace Atlas cranks, 170mm, blue
Fox Fork 100mm
Stans Flow rims, X9 hubs
WTB Exiwolf tires, 2.3 wide (soon to be tubless)
1994 Jeep Wrangler YJ Unlimited...under construction
D44HP front, 5.13's, locked, D60HD rear, 5.13's locked, disked, 37X12.50-17's on H2's, 3 link front suspention, spring under rear, custom cage, Beard seats (F&R), and 4 tired squirrels pushing a slush box underneath!
KEWL! I dig the color match bar and stem! I am about to pull my fenders off of my Hammer and put the Fox back on. I've been commuting a bunch on mine and kind of itching to change it up a bit. I should probably wipe all the coffee off too.
Nice Job on the build. Such a timeless bike with so many options
While the Hammer is almost done, the Blizzard is still a work in progress. The goal here was to build a smooth and comfortable bike for my wife, but something that can upgraded as her skills improve. Her birthday is next week and this is her present so I am scrambling now to get it rideable.
I have kept the color basic so far, focusing on white and silver to match the frame with the idea that she can personalize it later. The drivetrain is Sram 8X1 with a grip shifter, RaceFace Ride cranks, RaceFace seatpost, white Turvative handlebars and stem, a cheap fleabay rigid fork for now untill the funds are available for a decent 80mm fork, Avid BB-5's, WTB wheels, and some girly (and very comfortable) ergo grips.
