A very nice bike. New bar tape and grease. As far as I can tell it’s original. Please feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for looking

seat tube 57cm
standover 84cm

work preformed:
New shifter cables
Shifters ultrasonically cleaned and relubed
Clean bottom bracket and re grease
re pack front and rear hubs
ultrasonically cleaned and oiled freewheel
Detailed front and rear brake
rust proofed frame with d9
handlebar tape and tape and tie
cleaned and reagrease headset

the bike could use new hoods. They are original and very gummy.


Asking $250 obo plus shipping or local pick up/meet up in west Michigan. Will trade for tools or other similar bikes

the frame has the thru chainstay shifter cable routing which appeared in 1986, the 1985 catalog showed external cable guides along the chain stay. I wonder if this is near a transition point? Regardless...nice bike !

Good eyes, bike is the 85' color and True Temper frame. 86' also got contrasting head badge paint & Reynolds 531 frame so "transition point" seems about right? 85.5'?. I bet there is someone lurking about here of bf who has some proper knowledge of how this went down.
nice bike!
