Sure doesn't look like a 58 to me. Looks more like a 54.

In my market, that is a $250 bike, max. Add the typical San Fran premium, and you might be $350. I would consider alternate bar tape color as well. What is the contrast color on the paint? Is it yellow? I see from Keith's below that the contrast color is white. So I would be using a white saddle, white bar tape, and white cable housing.

Its a 1987 model.
