I've been cycling for a while, but am new to classic bikes. I bought this one off a friend to fix up for my sister to ride in the MS 150 here in NC. I wasn't impressed at first, but after cleaning it, giving it new tires and handlebar tape, I'm very impressed with the way it looks. I know nothing about this bike or when it was made. Can anyone ID it for me?

Mid Eighties, possibly/probably late 80's based upon the pedals.
Check the serial number on the BB - there's a pretty obvious "code" that should tell you the year of manufacture.
If I can find the "decoder" I will post it here, but I probably found it here, so you might do a search.
Nice BIKE! Treat 'er well.

Scroll down to the bit about serial numbers.
