Just picked this up for $60.
Judging from google images I’m guessing early 90s all original. The plan is to convert it to drop bars with microshift road shifters and clean/polish all the old 3x7 components. Yes it is hot pink lettering, I am color blind and thought it was just sun faded red until my wife saw it.  Attached File |

Looks like a '93-'94. I had the same year M2 FS. A higher end model with welded AL frame, front suspension and XT components.
Same color as yours. |

Also had a SE Quadangle with Landing Gear Forks that was mostly Neon, and Purple with Blue accessories Hutch TrickStar. My Haro was Chome, Bright Green and white. I think some of those colors burnt out a lot of the receptors in my eyes and thats why now I'm slightly color blind to the colors that are real close, like Silver, grey, slate, really light blue, etc... I can see and recognize all my Primaries (like Roy G BIV), LOL... |

So 90s!
That'll make a cool drop bar cruiser. Perfect thing to do with it. |

Nice, seems like a fun project. It’s also cool to see how far that model has come, I bought my wife a rockhopper in September… very different looking bike!

My first thought is "Drop bars on a MTB? What?"
But it turned out pretty good. |

Still have my 96 Rockhopper. Put a new rear sprocket, chain and tires on a couple years ago. Its my 2nd Rockhopper. 1st one was around 87. Hell I still have my Miyata road racing bike complete with black frame, neon pink forks and handlebar grip. That and my zebra striped jersey stuck out in a group at races.
