3 bottles, there's one under the down tube. Don't forget cantilever brakes, a touring bike staple, and the long wheelbase. All of the other stuff (except rack mounts) could have been added by an owner. I have a Cannondale like that and mine has the steel fork as well. I think it's a 1989 model year but the vintage Cannondale website isn't real clear.
Hers is a very small frame, maybe a 50.
