Rocky Mountain model/year ID?

You seem to have good luck, but this comes a bit with the responsibility or onus to make it nice again.

The decals have to be replaced, so stem and bar, not worthy for this rare beauty.
Sure, first of all, you have to get the post moving. Without damaging the frame, but ideally also not the nice and from this generation also hard to get Syncros post.
I hope you're up for the challenge

Definitely you won the Rocky lottery. This is mine and what yours should look like as I’m pretty sure that’s a 93. Rocky made a bunch of them pre spec as the altitude that year was so hot it sold out instantly and they wanted something to sell. So they pre made a bunch in the same altitude turquoise and could be had as either full XT syncros bike or yours was the same xtr m900 Raceface build kit as the Altitude. I stupidly ordered mine as the xt build as was trying to be budget conscious, but within the year I had pretty much replaced with xtr/Raceface. Check the serial as mine is 086. I also have 084 from same run. Mine was originally a light blue metallic, but after a repair was painted altitude turquoise. Original decals would have been gold on black. I have extra original decals in that colour for the handbuilt decal. I have a bunch of altitude in gold but sadly not the thunderbolt. Gil I believe reproduces them though. Fix er up.

First image is as now. Second is when I first had it in 93. And third is someone else’s bike but is the correct if was part of that run.

Looks like I've got 091. Can't believe what I've got here, I love learning the history. I better get my ass into gear and show this thing some love

Wait...

Someone gave you that?

For free?!

Did you pick up a lotto ticket on the way home too, by any chance?
