Thread '1985 Rocky Mountain “Avalanche”'

I’m used to seeing this very early Rocky decal on the Sherpa/Super Scooter models from 1984. Those were lugged frames made in Japan and were the earliest frames Rocky imported under their own name.
I had also seen this photo below of what appeared to be a filet brazed frame sporting the same early decal. I always wondered what this bike was but had never seen one in the flesh. It was pretty clear to me it wasn’t the lugged Sherpa or Super Scooter.

One of my greatest "loves" has been the Sakae Litage since the 90s. Why? Well, I don't know.
And despite everything, it's always eluded me. I've been trying to get one for years but never managed to get it.
Perhaps the fact that the BH brand distributed them in Spain and that many were sold made me think that one day I would finally get one.
And that day has come.
