It was real dirty, but cleaned up super well. It was obviously not ridden much. Swapped out the stem shifters for indexed downtube shifters. Got rid of the crap brake levers and put on cross levers only. Cranks not original either. I took a spill on it one morning and dislocated my thumb. It sucked.

Are you sure that isn't an 88? That's what it looks like it says on the head badge. First three digits are the day of the year (1-365) and last digit is the last digit of the year.

Now how can you see that?! No, I'm not sure of the year. I think I compared color and decals to an old catalog I found online.
