you would be correct.
Got to spend some time with it today and gave it a good going over. I got the serial number and has bike registry tag on it so might be able to pin point the date. On closer inspection the rims are KinLin 26x1.75 and the tires appear to the original Kenda as for the crank..who knows, made in Taiwan stamped on the frame, rims the same near as I can tell. Its a heavy bike, got to be close to 35-40 lbs. Not in the best of shape, lots of scratches and wear to the paint. Shifts well and seems mechanically sound. Might monkey around with it some but would be for education not to flip....probably will end up donating it. Thanks for the input...
