I bet your daughter will love the bike. I've never ridden a KHS, but they had a good reputation. As I recall, they offered a wide range of bikes from entry to race models. The Triathalon models were made to compete with Centurion Ironmans. I assume your bike has the name John Howard on it somewhere, as he was aligned with KHS just as Dave Scott was with the Centurion Ironman line. I'd also assume it is made with nice double-butted Tange tubing. I believe the Triathalon models originally came with a 105 group. The Exage 400 group came out in 1990, so what you have on the bike is not bad, but probably not OEM.
