Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Your bike is in really nice shape for a 20 year old bike. I am guessing the model year is late 88-89. Enjoy it.

it was wrapped in plastic/bubble wrap when i went to pick it up. it has some paint blemishes that have been touched up near the chainrings[you can see in the pic]. the tyres have the little knobbys still. i should mention the rear wheel has a slight[1.5mm] hop. could that be from sitting for X years?
