Cro-mo, LX-300 exage derailers, thumb shifters, claims to be avenir equipped gonna look that up in a minute.. I think the brakes are canti? it's a top pull wire system of some sort.. the mounts are like modern sidepulls if that's the term... I'm pretty sure this blows both my POS scwinns and my giant boulder out of the water, correct?

It's M300 from 1992. I'm guessing not quite Acera level these days because the new M360 or M390 of today would likely be superior. And that's IF the parts don't have too much mileage on them etc.

Cro-mo frames can be nice, especially if the frame fits you well and you like the geometry. If you like it you could always upgrade the parts later.

Thanks man, the indexing is shot but I do like the feel of the bike/fit I'm gonna go some personal fitting and have already begun stripping it down, I'm fairly confident it's gonna be my hill climber single speed.
