You are looking at a 1999 Iron Horse ARS 4.0, and I had to look that up because these were not all that popular. It is unusual though, and we're going to find out if that makes it desirable...
 You are looking at a 1998 Specialized Ground Control FSR Elite - with a dodgy homemade shock linkage, and double-crown Girvin fork, this is peak freeride.
 You are looking at a 1991 Rocky Mountain Summit Max. In the '91 catalog, the Summit RL was referred to as 'a bike as rare as the summit it reaches.'
So what does that make this Summit, which was so rare as to not even appear in the '91 catalog?  You are looking at a 1998 Rocky Mountain Pipeline, the original Frorider bike. For me, it's a legendary bike in Rocky's history.
 You are looking at a 1993 Specialized S-Works steel, and it's another example of how sometimes what seems like an impossible deal maybe has some caveats on it...
 You are looking at a 1994 Rocky Mountain Blizzard that is not ready for a proper post, but there were a couple things I wanted to talk about.
 You are looking at a 1996 Rocky Mountain Altitude, one of the finest Rockys you can buy that isn't a fully custom Tantalus / Thunderbolt. This was the last year for the 'base' Altitude, and in my mind, one of the best because of the 15th Anniversary decals and custom part spec.
 Let's talk about Shimano's Dual Control brake/shift levers from the early 2000s.
A very interesting failure.  You are looking at a first generation Mazda6, sold in Canada from 2004 through 2008, and while it looks like a fairly generic four door sedan, it was actually a very unusual car.
But we need some context before I say why it was so unusual. |
