Help to ID this 1980s Rossin

Hello!
I found this Rossin for sale (CND$1000 - ouf!). The Chorus groupset is said to be original so my initial guess was 1987-88 bike. I tried to identify it through catalogs (only found the 1988 from this period), Google searches and through this site. I am really puzzled. No crimped tubes so I thought it could be an RLX. However, I could not find a single Rossin RLX with top tube brake cable loops (the RL has them and it is in Co

lumbus SL). Paint and tubing decals looks original. Could it be an earlier Rossin RLX? I think SLX tubing bikes started to be seen in 1984-85.
Thanks for your help!
