I would love to see pictures of that beauty!!
I don't have a computer camera but have a link that will show you almost exactly what it looks like, the only difference in the picture you'll see and my bike is my bike is all polished 100% Suntour Superbe aluminum components-no black parts like the headset, wheels and brakes pictured... and now it has a brown Brooks Swift saddle in an attempt to match the gum brake hoods better then black; also the decals over the years have faded from yellow to white with traces of yellow from the intense sun of the Mojave Desert of Calif where I lived for over 10 years; and the usual nicks but I touch them all up when they occur with matching paint. The original headset was the one you see pictured, a black Stronglite that was actually slightly lighter then the Superbe but after I stopped racing I put the Superbe on only because I didn't (and still don't) like the black look! I bought the bike as a frame and fork only and had the Superbe stuff put on instead of using Treks factory supplied components. You can't tell real well in the picture but the cables are yellow; I even still use yellow (cork not the plastic shown) bar tape!
