I've been shopping on craigslist and came across a mid-90s Specialized touring bike in my price range. Front and rear racks, bar-end shifters, extra aero bars, fenders included. Chainrings are 50-36-26, cassette 12-28, diacompe brakes, diore deraillures (I think).
Am I perhaps better off spending the same money on an old but solid bike with better components?
