I'm not sure if it is an 1983, '84 or '85.
This one could be a 1984 or a 1985. I doubt it's 1983. You got a good deal, as the 1983 retailed for $465 US and presumibly a 1984 or 1985 would have cost more. The question is, was the LBS clearing their 1984 or 1985 models? I do have specs and pic for the 1983 & an ad for the 1984, but nothing on the 1985 model. However, we can try to narrow things down, based on what I do know about these models. Are the tires/rims, 27" or 700C. Are the shift levers mounted on the top or side of the down tube or bar end? Is the head tube a contrasting color to the frame? Is there internal wiring for a generator? What model is the rear derailleur? TIA.
