So I bought the bike! It is a 1996 like I suspected, thanks for the link, oddjob. It has some minor cosmetics, scratches on the left rear drop out and a very minor dent on the right one, but nothing that will cause any issues down to road. Other than being very dirty from living in a basement for 10 years, it's in absolute perfect working condition, shifts like buttah in to all gears. All it needs to be road worthy again is some new tires, these look a little dry rotted. It'll need bar tape and maybe pads too, but it looks like the previous owner took it to a shop for maintenance before putting it in storage. Even the seat post grease is clean still.
