Rocky Mountain Cirrus??

[Canuckbiker]

I’m considering buying this e stay bike which the seller is calling a Rocky Mountain.

I’m pretty sure Rocky e stay bikes are only the Cirrus model. No decals. One thing that has me questioning if it is a Cirrus is the chainstay bridge, looks more machined, the pictures I’ve dug up from 91’ - 93’ seem to show a basic tube for the chainstay bridge. The wishbone seatstays, drop outs, etc all look RM Cirrus to me. Any experts to confirm if this is a RM Cirrus?

I had one a while ago, don't remember mine having a bridge at all in that area.

Expérience (1991 probably), but the serial is on the other side of that dropout)

The bridge, flat dropouts and riveted cable guides are Identical to my old one, I think it's an Experience

Make sure that seat tube is OK.

100% an Experience, which most will say are harder to find than it's bigger brother Cirrus.

the flat bridge allows the Experience to have a shorter wheelbase than the Cirrus. i own both. here's the Experience.

Hey CanadaHandmadeVTG,
How's your Cirrus coming along? I'm working on a few RM's also.
And did you ever pick-up that Experience that you showed the earlier pics of from August?
