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.
