The frame hung up there until I came home on leave from the Army in 1988 and (the words still make me tingle) IT WAS STILL HANGING UP THERE. I immediately bought it then and it was my primary racer and transportation during my three years stationed in Holland (in Limburg, near Maastricht) and Colorado Springs.

What a lovely machine... thanks for sharing the pictures
