I believe this is around an '81 or '82 bike, has the double-butted Tange tubing and braze-ons for racks, but only one water-bottle cage mount. Got it in nearly pristine condition off of craigslist, not super cheap and I think the guy was flipping it, but I think it was still a decent price for a good solid bike. Most components are original, but I replaced the brake pads, and added campy ergo shifters and the rear derailleur off of another bike I had laying around, along with a 7-spd shimano freewheel. Works great, just had to swap a washer from one side of the axle to the other. Plenty of clearance, no need to bend the forks or anything. Finished it up with supercork bar tape and it makes a great ride...
