I know nothing about road bikes, but this came up for sale locally. Alas I wasn't quick enough to snag this beauty, but I guess it's for the better since I really can't add anymore bikes to the collection. Thought I'd share the pics.

A quick look through our own archive reveals this to be a 1987 or earlier Team Giro > http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/mai ... emId=15373 since it's built from Columbus. A lot of (or all??) the RM in house stuff was welded up at this point by Derek Bailey, apparently from the UK.
