Hello all. I have tried to come up with as much info as I could about this bike before posting so hopefully this all helps.
I am trying to figure out if this bike is worth keeping, restoring or modifying, or selling off. What I want is a good bike to ride the streets and hills(not mountains) of Seattle. I have no particular attachment to the bike and would only restore it to the original specs if it was worth it to the value of the bike in the end. If it is not worthy of restoration I was thinking about modification for riding myself. Would this be a good bike to mod in to a more city friendly bike? Mostly concerned about its weight and wheel size. I am also pretty frugal so the restoration or modification would take a couple to a few months, of course depending on how well I could find the items I need. If anyone has suggestions for a city modification or would like to point me in the right direction, that would be helpful.
The reason I think this is an 84 is because of the bi-plane forks, I've read that this is the last year these forks came out(?). Also concerned with the rear gear teeth, they look rather crooked and I'm sure require attention/replacement.
If more pictures are needed I can get on that tomorrow.
