The first two digits are 30 and the last two are 86.
I ran into the can't afford it syndrome, almost a year ago, when a lovely, full Campagnolo Waterford, in my size, complete with fancy pedals and shoes that fit. Perfect! Went home, talked to Mrs. Me, but only because I had no cash at the moment. For the first time in my life, I used Visa to buy a bike...
And am I ever glad I did!

EDIT: It is sometimes the case that the under-BB cable routing routes the FD cable over the first digit of the serial, obscuring it. This was the case with mine!
Love the Waterford, and I feel like this one may be a bike I regret passing on. In my case, the reality of having to (somehow) pay university tuition at the beginning of next month was probably the biggest obstacle to my finding a way to arrange for this one to come my way through use of a credit card (or by whatever means necessary).
I'm drooling, but I'm pretty sure I can't swing it at the moment. My bike fund for the next year or so went into the Cyclops.

If it was a 58 I'd be all over it.

Thanks for the photos randy, Early 1990s seems correct for the Deore DX parts. 1993 it could be. I was wanting to know if the canti's were XT or DX, which you could tell by looking at the model number on the back of the arms, BR-M734 would be the XT model but I am guessing DX based on everything else. It's nice to be sure, A full XT build would probably have me pulling the trigger and as much as I like this, I don't have the need for it in my stable and it wouldn't get a ton of miles, though it would be a nice light replacement for Soma Saga which I keep down south for visits to "the city" (Vancouver).

A fellow forum member has made the choice to purchase so the bicycle is SOLD. Sorry for anyone who missed out, but glad I found a good home for this nice old touring bicycle.
