Nice one, and my favourite year for RM.

The RockShox fork is far too long and extended to around 550cm axel-crown. But, with the Wiggle-Wagon attached and my 7-year old grandson on the saddle, the handling is just slowed enough to where I am able to control the mess. The fork travel can be cranked down to closer to about 440cm which is still long for the OEM spec, but nowhere near slow enough for the excess mass and torque with the added tag-along. The only remnants of the OEM equipment are the frame and Synchros seat post. 9-speed rear with a triple carrying lower than OEM gearing.

I am sort of looking for a rigid fork to replace the Rockshox. I live about a block from the ocean and don't have any intent to ride terrain where big suspension is desired. But, that is a problem for future me, once the grandson moves onto a stand alone bicycle of his own.

My first retro build, still a work in progress, as I try to finalize things.

Wow, awesome, thanks for sharing! My grail bike, a 90s Thunderbolt, I’ve been looking for one for a long time, hopefully one day.

Can you post more pictures? Also, how did you get/find the Thunderbolt?

Is that an original paint job?
