Interesting. Agree, didn't see U brakes.
Perhaps it's been re-decaled? Those are not '87 or 88 decals. And I think Direct Drive appeared later.
Could it be an 87 Stumpjumper re-badged? Or a re- decaled '88 Rockhopper Comp?
It's Denucci Green (the best Spesh colour IMO) as was the 87' Stumpy and 88' Rockhopper Comp.

Funky LP Composites seatpost on that Rockhopper too - don't see so many of those about.
That bike takes me back. Between about 1994-97 I had a Rockhopper that must have been a very similar year to this. I changed all the original parts pretty quickly so my memory of them is hazy but I think it was all Suntour (X-Press shifters). I always wondered what year that bike was - it was mustard yellow (matching colour forks that eventually cracked on both sides near the bosses) with burgundy decals - maybe Augustus can help identify?
