Title: Attn Haro Gurus, advice needed on Group 1....
Post by: Weeksy on November 16, 2007, 12:58 PM: Hi dudes,

What's the difference between the Group1 RS1 's 2's and 3's?

I thought the 1's had the longer toptubes, but I could be wrong!

Could you please advise?!

Thanks

Weeksy

I've been looking on there, but he describes them as the same as each other without AD brake mounts, however neither of them do, so would like the differences confirmed!

Thanks

Weeksy

while the RS2 what Mike King bike (smaller guy!)
Both were full Cro-Mo, while the RS3 was "Trimoly", 3 tubes Cr-Mo

My 86 RS1 has a 19" top tube, don't have no RS2 right now to check ::)

The full range was with calipers for the first year, 1986.
Then the 87 RS1 had 990 mounts, while the others stayed with calipers.

They had altough different colors schemes.... check the catalogs mate! too long to explain.... ;)

Yes you are ! ;)

It's all in the catalogs... Did you guys in UK had the RS4 BITD ?
It isn't in the 88 catalog but we had some in France, entry level of the entry bike...

Brochures take me right back - I can remember reading those the first time round when I had a Group 1!

Cheers
