So, really the only thing new on this bike is the handlebars, but it does change the ride quite a bit. The forward bend is a great climbing grip and a little further forward than I could achieve with a long stem and touring bar.

Since it has a U-brake it’s late 80s but I’m not certain what year. The Suntour headset and U-brake are the only components that might be (and probably are) original to the bike.
