I bought this bike used in the early 1990's from a LBS. It was my first true road bike that I bought with my own money. I think it might be a 1987 model. I'm looking at converting it into a single speed.
To do list:
-Finish removing parts (headset cups, cranks, bottom bracket)
-Find someone to paint the frame (PMS 268 - C=91, M=94, Y=0, K=24 - R=52, G=42, B=123)
-See which parts can be reused
-Service/buy parts
-Assemble bike
-RIDE!!!
