Here are some pics. An early shot after I put some drop bars on, North Ave beach breaker, and a shot of 29 years of caked on grease before I cleaned it. Also pics of the loaner Trek. Can anyone ID it? I'm sure it's a mid 80's, but not sure on the series. The bar tape has to go, yes I know... I cleaned up the chain and re-lubed the drivetrain, I can pedal backwards now. I just need to fix the autoshifting RD (Yes I lubed the cable under the BB).
No joke, but I just (yesterday) dragged one home just like that from a tree lawn in the same candy green. It glows in the sunlight. It even had a gold metalic foam wrap around the top tube. The seriel number indicated a November 79' birthdate.
I cleaned her up, put air in the tires and they are still filled today. I dare not ride on those wheels though, they are true but all the spokes are loose.
