+===== 1991 RS-1 =====
+As spec'd it was supposed to have a full Campy Centaur gruppo w/no Shimano.  This example is full XT M735 with a Shimano disc front and a Hope rear.
+Four pivots.  Front air-oil damping, elastometer rears.
+Despite its name, the RS-1 did not use Rockshox RS-1's((However, the 1990 prototype RS-1 did use the RS-1 front shocks.  See: [[https://mbaction.com/throwback-thursday-mountain-bike-suspension-from-30-years-ago/|mbaction]]))  Note the very early use of disc brakes, using [[https://www.hopetech.com/history/the-nineties/|Hope]] disc brakes ((Hope discs have a spiral pattern of holes, while Pro-Stops, used on later RS-1's, used a slot pattern of rotor cooling.)) and their matching hubs.
