I have no idea what year this is, or how old it is, all i know is none of the parts are orginal. The kid I bought it from said it was his dad's when he was a kid and they ripped everything down and rebuilt it with all new parts when he was starting to ride.. but here are the picstures if you need better ones let me know. I took these with my blackberry so obviously, quality may not be so great. Figured if must be worth something.. only paid 60 bucks for it.

Doesn't really look like one from the 80s. The serial number will usually tell you what the year is. But, looks like a good bike for the price.

my serial number is h88030142 and thats on the down tube if that helps at all.

It's an 88 Group 1 "RS-1" Top of the line frame that year.
It's the only Group 1 that had 990 brake mounts and cable guides running down the down tube.

88 was the last year of the straight top tube as well, after that they had the angled top tube.

Very nice bike. I hope you can bring it back to life.

is this a quill stem ? or is it a clamp on style stem ?

curious about your headset on there. looks like its got shims like new size steerer tube does
not the regular headset stuff with top lock nut and associated under parts.

do all the group 1's look like that? i mean the downtube. it looks like where there were stickers, the chrome isn't shiny.my 86 looks just like that. awesome chrome, except where the stickers go.
