It'll be an early Christmas present from us to her .......TMI, lol.

According to the database thread, it is an 86 model, which memory serves as about right. I like the looks of the white bar wraps on your pic, but only when they are brand new. After a while they seem impossible to keep clean. I feel the same about the brake hoods, but haven't found an alternative. As an interesting note, the components are more original than the frame. I bought this bike, and a month into ownership hit a lady that pulled in front of me leaving a shopping center. Three dents in her car, from my front wheel, head tube, and helmet. Result - frame bent beyond repair and a deep appreciation for helmets. LBS swapped the components onto a new frame, front wheel was not even out of true. Good luck on yours - they are a very nice ride.
