Rocky Mountain Restomod

My first go at building an xbike although been restoring vintage road bikes for a while.

Build started with a 1990 Rocky Mountain Equipe with a sweet faded green paint job. Then found a 1999 Rocky Mountain Vertex TO that was beat to death and oddly full of water but served as a donor platform for the wheels, brakes, derailleur and shifters.

Details:

Frame: 1990 Rocky Mountain Equipe

Fork: 2000s Brody Gatorblade V2 modified to take v-brakes using Pace adaptors

Wheels: Mavic 517 laced to XTR M950; Simworks Homage Tires

Derailleur: XTR M950, modified with Aliexpress metal jockey wheels (Zitto)

Cranks: NOS Blackspire Badger (lots of Blackspire parts for cheap in Vancouver due to their bankruptcy), ISIS mount (don't know why people hate it so much) with Aliexpress oval ring.

Brakes/Shifter – XTR M950 integrated

Stem/Bars – NOS Blackspire Shore stem 25.4 with Nitto B802 bars (honestly, these make the bike), Race Face Chester grips with drilled out ends to take Nitto bar ends.
