I think your standards for paint are likely far higher than mine (which are admittedly lax). To me...that is a gem and not something I'd use as my "lock it up around town" bike. I'd get a Super Course, a Raleigh Sports or a rigid MTB for that.
If you check out the ebay pricing on most SR vs. Superbe Pro...it goes for the same. The Suntour might even be selling higher on average right now.
The AX bike only has the crankset and the pedals I've come to find out. I think the brakeset and derailleurs are regular Dura-Ace. What was the series in 1981? What came before 7400?
I will get some better photos of the Miyata in the sun that show it's awful paint and I'll post a photo of the Univega here as well. I think you've seen it, though.

Keep the Superbe Pro for sure.
Just never got around to it I guess. I heard I'd have a very, very hard time finding Superbe hoods, so I just never bothered. What else will fit? Any idea?
