Shogun for a clydesdale

Hey hey,
I used to bike everyday (5 to 7 miles, commuting) until I bunged up my knee about 5 years ago and couldn't ride for about 6 months. Never got back in the saddle, don't know why. Now I miss it and I want to get back into it. I am shopping around for a nice entry level/mid level road bike, steel frame, that will hold my now-Clydesdale-self. I top out the scale at about 260 lbs, 5'8", and I think I found a bike.

I was wondering if anyone knows if I will break this bike by sitting on it. Also, I know a little bit about shoguns and I feel like he is asking a little too much for this, but I haven't been into bike stuff for awhile. He doesn't know what year it is, but I am guessing mid-80's.

Anyways, if anyone has any advice on this bike, or suggestions of other bikes to be on the lookout for, it would be most appreciated.
