Just thought I'd update this. Yes, the seat is at a funky angle. It works on the indoor trainer, but no way could I ride outdoors like that. Same for the old Shimano 561 wheelset. Too few spokes, but they were a good deal for keeping on the trainer. And yes, some bling...
Bike is still 7 speed rear, RSX brifters cleaned and new lube added. I toyed with the idea of swapping in 9 or 10 speed stuff, but have yet to find a good enough deal to make it worth my time. With 2 other road bikes, one heavier than the R200, the other lighter, it's only advantage is the 3x crankset.
As mentioned at the beginning of this thread, I crashed on this bike 8 years ago. Broke my back and had a head injury. I have tried to ride this outdoors over the last couple years, but never felt comfortable or safe. Mental issues of mine I think more than the bike not safe. But, I can't bring myself to give it away or sell it, just in case it is jinxed... So indeed, it is an awfully nice bike to just sit on a trainer. But, it is still useful and used. And isn't that what any bicycle really wants?
