From 97 to now have been couriering on 5 Rockies 3 97 ones, one 2015 and a 2021. For road couriering I allways prefer the 97 and I use your model even now!
@@BackPedalBicycleRestoration Yeh..I've got plans to mod mine eventually. Ps, the 2021 Rocky had suspension WORSE than the Indy Cs on the 97..the hybred crosstrail 2012 I bought after is a truer heir to the 97...
@@BackPedalBicycleRestoration After miles and miles of bitch basic coil suspension....I felt conned! If I spent the same money in 97, I'd have got indys and aaah...nice!
The bleeding bike got nicked...and I wasnt even that pissed. It led me to the crosstrail for the same price as replacement susp for the rocky. Nicer frame, plush susp..
i had one of those. i think the model up from that paintjob but same frame. rode it over 10 years. and those cable guides will fuck your knees up lol that big ass rubber spring was better than the cheapo coil forks today.
Thankfully, I have never caught my knees on the frame. I have actually borrowed some parts off this bike for other bikes so it's in a sorry state now sadly.
I got it from my local car shop. It's the same stuff as this www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=motip+paint&adgrpid=105181808580&gclid=CjwKCAjwhuCKBhADEiwA1HegOSnRJdYk8GE-x7ZAL49EC3GNXb2QZRPllIlVJgwZmcPo-jJMrzIOuRoC8dAQAvD_BwE&hvadid=498943682847&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9046330&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=15797034616206504448&hvtargid=kwd-312617461635&hydadcr=1095_2326533&tag=googhydr-21&ref=pd_sl_565nohfzhy_e_p49

It's my favourite bike. It's changed a bit since this video though.

I'm currently PDIing a 2022 one for a customer. It has Suntour XCE forks and Microshift gearing. It's not nearly as nice as the older ones.
