NOTE: My bike originally came with the bullmoose bars but I swapped them out.
Both of those look like my Mountain Tour - a 1985 (I believe) Tamarack. Also came with bullmoose bars, and looked much classier with a Brooks Pro, but this is supposed to be my rain/lock about town/barhop bike, so it came off. Mine also has Suntour power shifters, a very functional Suntour AR rear derailleur, and 650b wheels with Col de la Vies.
