Rocky Mountain Thin Air: Fair Swap?

Neilios

Retro Guru
I've had my eye on this little minx for a while. It's my mate's father-in-law's Rocky Mountain Thin Air.

Today a deal was done, and it became mine in exchange for a box of Stella and a pie.

My mate had it powder coated a while back, and some of the parts have been swapped. I reckon it's mostly on the original drivetrain, and the front wheel is a Wheelsmith, so could well be original too.

Original colour was supposedly purple metallic, which Google suggests is 1994.

Frame number is TA5057

Picture of pie for completeness.

Any info on paint codes, original specs etc would be much appreciated!

As an old RM collector, I think that was a hella deal.
Thanks, looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Thinking of getting the correct fork for it but going off piste with the paint...
 
Re:

Not a bad deal, unless it's a chicken and ham pie, then I'd have demanded some bar end plugs your way.
