I had an ELite RS that had 7-speed Shimano 600 on it and 700c wheels. Downtube shifters as well. Nice bike but a bit large for me (top tube length fit well which is why I rode it). Sold it a few years ago for probably too low of a price but the buyer was happy when he saw the condition it was in. Not sure what else I can tell you about it. I always referred to it as an "E-Lite"(e-light) model instead of "Elite"(e-leet), don't know how it was supposed to be pronounced. Don't know what model year mine was, bought it used in Sacramento before I moved to Wisconsin.
