1991 Gary Fisher RS-1 full suspension bike

1991 Gary Fisher RS-1:

Early attempt at full suspension. Comes with the unusual Lawwill leader fork and twin disk brakes. The rear hub was custom made by Campagnolo for Fisher. They were generally set up with 8 speeds and a Pro-Stop disk brake. The color and unusual part spec make this bike an early prototype and/or team bike. I'll try to get some good close-ups of the unusual features.
