Probably a 1989. Tange ChroMo Frame & Fork, wishbone seat stays, tapered fork. Anybody ride one of these? Thoughts on value?

I can't comment on the ride as the Canadian models were different and the main picture is too blurry to offer an assessment based on condition. However, this should be 1990 model with Shimano Exage 400LX, based on the presence of Rapidfire shift levers. The 1989 used Shimano Exage Mountain with thumb shifters. In 1990, the Colorado was 4th in a line-up of 7 ATBS, with an MSRP of $459-$479 US.

I built this Manitoba last year, roughly the same vintage, into a street bike. Got the main bike for free and added my parts.
Really a sweet ride, much better than I anticipated. The wishbone rear stay helps keep the rear wheel planted, and the frame is reasonably lightweight for a late 80's MTB.
