Bringing this back from the dead....

wrk101, any chance you have still have the picture you posted here? I'm trying to confirm what year my brown Rapide is from. Your's is the only mention of a brown Rapide I've been able to find. Thanks in advance for the help!

Edit: Here's a pic of mine.

Overall the bike looks great. Its a black frame with decals. Im pretty sure it has suntour componets. 5 speed in the back, 2 in the front. The frame is in great shape. Its mostly the componets are the worse part, but still good. The front brake is rubbing against the tire and I am trying to adjust it and I dont know how. Help?

So I tried to google it and I couldnt get any info on this bike. Does anyone know any info about this bike. That would be great.

I am planning on putting the stem on my bianchi that was replased with a smaller one when I got fit, on this bike. I did some rough measurements of the bike compared to my bianchi, considering the bianchi is fit to me.

Here are the pics. (big pics)










Thanks alot everyone!
Looks great.
