OMG, the attention to detail... I know you want to keep it close to the original, but I cannot stand the mismatch yellows on the frame and Magura's so I would paint the brakes. But that's me :)

Nice to see one. When they came out, I always thought they were too light to survive. Apparently not :)

The font is called "Helvetica Neue".

Wasn't the 1994 model purple?

It could be that Rocky Mountain decided the TO versions didn't need the disc brake tabs as they were meant to be raced and no racers at that time ran disc brakes as they weighed much more than V-brakes.

Looks like a 1995 model. Very nice condition.

My 1999 LTD uses a 27.0 seat post. Are you sure your's has 26.8mm? Never mind, I just looked and it has a 26.8mm post. Sorry.

Weird, your bike looks to have the newer style font for the decals (not Helvetica Neue). Are you sure it's a 1999? Maybe you bought it in 1999 but it was actually the 2000 model? The color and decals match with a 2000 model. The 1998 frame was a different color, red in stead of blue (in case you...

It should have tan walls, but other than that, good job. I like it.

Those brakes are 1st gen (2004) Hope Mono M4. The rotors are really low profile and are just about as high as the brake pad, which on these 4 pot brakes are not very high. Later they came out with the sawtooth rotors, but they all cracked at the teeth. Brake wise, i went from Magura HS22 to Hope...

That's nice. I probably wouldn't change a thing.

Thanks for the votes. I was very pleased with the result of the paint I did, luckily it found some approval from the forum as well :)

This reminds me I should get mine up and running again. Needing brakes and drivetrain. Your's looks stunning.

Looking real nice!

Just imagine the pedals :)

Zonoskar's 2015 Rocky Mountain Thunderbolt 799 MSL repainted. Build thread: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/2015-rocky-mountain-thunderbolt-799-msl-respray.488766/

Yeah, the original paint had a hint of maple leaf (only on the top tube). I could cut my own stencils, so I went to town with it :) I might redo the paint job in the summer. Part of my struggles was the temperature while spraying, 6C is not ideal. The decals are now vinyl but if I redo it, I...

As a follow up on https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/getting-hold-of-2015-rocky-mountain-thunderbolts-suspension-hardware.484214/ where I asked about getting hardware for the frame, I finally sourced all the hardware needed (apart from a few gaskets to seal the unused frame holes) thanks to our...

Added a new Rocky to the stable (Thunderbolt 799 MSL). I repainted it because I didn't like the original color (black/yellow).

Wow, that looks nice. The forks especially.
