I am really fond of the paint as well, pearl white and that blue looks nice...I live in Bend Oregon, I like riding it but the bars are too narrow feels scary, I paid $75 for it around 2000, I would rather ride my Cannondale, that one's old too, a caad5. We had a wonderful day here Saturday, sun no wind, went for a nice 30 mile ride. Sunday... wind was gusting to 41 mph and 39 degrees.
Thank you for the data, I may ask around a few bike shops, there must be 50 in Bend. and a few who build some exciting looking bikes.
Would I rather have this cool looking bike or 100 dollars?

Thanks for the welcome!
