Note that the cable guide is on the top of the BB. By the end of the year or early '85 cable routing was moved to the underside of the BB shell.
IMO, it is over priced for a poorly done and in poor shape re-paint with the wrong decals. The drive side chain stay should not have been painted. It is all polished chrome.
I agree with you 100%. What a mess of a bike, but I was really pointing out the serial number locations. My 84 is on the bottom bracket and #66 made in 84. Yet this bike is seems to be an 84 with numbering on the drop out and seems to be a 29. Makes me wonder of a racing geometry got a number on the drop out and the touring on the BB.
