I saw this one within an hour of its appearance on CL this morning and did not call. Actually, I'm surprised it didn't show up last Monday since I came home last Sunday with my new-to-me Nishiki Cresta GT and knew, absolutely knew in my bones, that '80s touring bikes in my size would start coming out of the woodwork immediately after my purchase. QED. Anyway, if I were single I'd own this bike by now but I also knew better than to suggest that we need another 30 year old touring bike in the house. Some people--who shall remain nameless--just don't understand the necessity of such things.

Another reason to want it: I may be the person who assembled and/or sold this bike when new. My initials might be on the shop sticker and/or the sales receipt, which I'd bet the guy still has.
