    The Royal is finished in Oak Green. You need to be sure to pronounce Royal as "Royal", not "Royale", which was also used by Raleigh on different models. It's a confusing story. Sorry, I don't know much at all about the Scirocco. Frame numbers on both bikes will decode to give month and year of manufacture.

    I've seen different variants of the Rocky Ridge in black with different group sets. My 97 came with XT/LX, but this 98 came with lower STX/Avid gear. I've not seen a 1998 catalogue, only the 97 and 99, so I can only assume the 97 frame was built with lower spec components to sell off, rather than repaint the frame left in stock.
