THANK YOU to all 3 of you. Apparently I had begun to taste the kool aide.

BG - I believe it is an '81 (SN is DS 17613), but do not know what tubing it is. However, I think you are right about upgrading it.

TMar - I do love the way it fits, and was just thinking... And apparently looking to spend money in a foolish way.

iab - I don't want to go faster (well...), I don't want any desire (except from my wife)...I was just kicking around the idea of getting another bike for the road and maybe going IGH with this one. I think I will just keep my eyes open for a nice 3 speed in my size.
