Hi Forum members. I was going post this as a can name this bike. But I don't have the time to do a follow up.

Not sure as I follow this?
 
that's a nice looking RM road bike! :cool:

still kind of wished i had managed to snag the Team Giro in red/white a while back. they look very similar in geometry/design. guessing they're both probably close in year?

The team looks 80's and the one in this post looks early 90's
Mainly from the stickers on it anyway.

Would be interesting to know more.

Ah yes, you are right. The RM logo crest on the Team are definitely 80's and Giro is 90's! Good eye ;)

Re: Rocky Mountain Giro

There was a DB built Rocky Mountain race bike on the local Craigslist recently - my size too. Very tempting, but if I get another road bike it needs to be L'Eroica legal. I have a friend with what I believe to be an 80's vintage RM road bike as well. They definitely were a smaller part of their business BITD, but from my browsing of old catalogues they seemed to be making them in the early years.
