Thanks! She looks good from a few feet, but up close she is quite rough. Actually picked her up for $85, took quite a bit of elbow grease, some oxalic acid and a can of clear coat, but put back together shes quite suited for the tasks at hand!

That said, I agree with [MENTION=236138]echo victor[/MENTION] and [MENTION=73614]rhm[/MENTION], there isn't anything particularly special about the 610s of that era, compared to any other generic 70s/80s sport tourer. The only reason I bought that instead of using my Schwinn was the Schwinn was a few pounds heavier (~6-7), and pushing a packed box weight too close for comfort to the airline limit. Plus, it was $85! I got too attached, though, to replace it with a Univega Specialissma that popped up on my local CL for $225 a few months later.
