ok this seems to be a pretty rare bike . i beleave its a 1988 because the serial #s start out 88 . i narrowed it done to a 87 or 88 . all in all the bike is a great survivor . it has been ridden so there is small scratches here and there . i know the front brakes are not origanal because the previous owner told me he just put them on there . the first to pics are the auctual color of the bike . i cleaned it up and adusted the seat and post and took some more pics however they did not turn out . the seat post is a gt and the seat is a viscount areo . i dont think the bars are origianal but i could be wrong . the stickers are in prettty good shape with only a few spots scratched here and there . the head tube sticker is missing aswell as the one that go on the top tube . the wheels have alittle play between the bearings and axle . maybe able to adjust not sure . the cranks are one peice with a sealed bottum bracket . i see no cracks or rewelds of any sort . the forks have a small ding about an inche above one of the pegs . its really not a ding i can just see alittle wavyness in the chrome finish . my camera wont pick this imperfection up (not bad at all) . anyways email me if you hava any ?s . like i said if you were buying this to ride youll need to probably lube everything up . its been setting in a basement for 15 plus years . ill have everything profesionally packed and if my shipping is high ill refund the difference .
