Sounds like a plan to me! Those are really nice bikes, my friend bought one new in 1987 or '88 and absolutely LOVED that bike. His was the satin black one without the chrome fork and not near as nice looking as the red ones. He rode that thing until just a few years ago when he decided to hit the side of a car and play Superman over the roof . It appeared that the bike was OK but the front wheel was "taco'd ". We checked the steerer and the head lugs as well as the down tube for any damage.....none. He bought new wheels for it and a year later the head tube cracked helically( like a spiral) . It was an interesting effect when he was riding , so he scrapped the frame . I thought that was a good choice! Seriously nice bikes though.
