The brake levers are somewhat puzzling to me. If the information I scoured is correct, the red and silver paint scheme is 1985 while the red and white scheme is 1986. In 1985 the bike came with non-aero Shimano 600 levers which changed to Dia Compe AGC levers in 1986. So it looks like I have a 1985 with the 1986 brake levers? Correct as far as I know.
I still think I'm going to put non-aero on it. If you'd like some Golden Arrow non-aero (rhyme intended) levers, just send me your address in PM's, but I do not have the hoods.
I just like the classic cable look on these bikes.
I agree.
I had an all-OEM
'86 years ago that had the DC AGC's on it, including the "leader" cable. Not sure if it was and early '86 or a late '86, but it had the copper-colored Araya's, and I think the later ones had the Wolbers.
