What the one in the CL ad you're looking at looks like...




What is should look like...



It's probably late '80s. The components it might have come with:

Cromoly Frame and Fork
Suntour VX Accushift derailleurs
Suntour VX Acushift shifters
Diacompe VX brakeset
Suntour VX crankset
Champion handlebar and stem
Quick release
Weinmman rims
Alloy seatpost

Off the tip of the bat...tires, tubes, seat, alloy drop bars, correct brake levers and hoods. Is there a seat post under that saddle? What type? Alloy micro-adjust (would be surprised)? Check to make sure it hasn't been downgraded with inexpensive components. That crank set doesn't seem to look correct, IMHO. The frame needs to be the correct size for you. That is most important if you plan on riding it. IMHO, try to pitch, in a real nice and friendly firm way, $60 to $75 cash if you want it. That's my take on it.

I like this one on your CL...

Mid 80's Trek touring road bike. Broken spoke in the back. Dirty bar tape. CLASSY. Just a beautiful bike. But alas, too large for me, 33 inch stand over height. Come check it out.
