I have a ross eurotour that I am pretty sure is a 1983 Silver with burgandy trim and seat mine is a 5 speed with the shimono front free wheel system. I have heard all the negatives about this bike but, for a run around town bike I like it. mine has a lot of miles running to get a loaf of bread, lawnmower gas and such . I have made a few 25 mile trips on it. I put new tires tubes and brake pads on it when I got it 3-4 years ago and have road the hell out of it with no troubles (I weigh #300)
