Here's a photo of mine, that I've turned into a riv-a-alike. It is a really pretty frame. Just did a 125 mile brevet on it this past weekend, working well so far.
I believe the Grizzley, Osprey, Nyala, Ocelot, etc rigid mtbs basically had the same frame, just different components.
These are, indeed, sweet frames. I wasn't really aware that Bianchi even made mtbs until I saw my Osprey advertised on eBay, and bought it with the only bid.
What year is your Grizzley? Does it have a quill stem or an Ahead headset?
