The brakes are identical, I'm pretty sure. The rear derailleur looks to have longer pulley arms than mine; maybe they anticipated my somewhat Neanderthal tendencies... Nice bike!
I originally got the Kamra at a used bike sale at a bike shop in the DC area, in 1990. It fit. I didn't have a road bike. And it cost $170 on sale. The Washington and Old Dominion Rail Trail ran behind the place where I worked in Sterling, VA, and I used to ride out 'n' back every day after work. It was also handy to hop onto the Metro in Vienna to go into the city. (I lived in Manassas.)
