I got it as a possible upgrade for my 86 le tour. It looks to be a 58 which is about the biggest frame I can ride, so I'm going to fix it up and see which one I like better and then sell the other one. It's not perfect. It has some paint defects and some very light surface rust underneath in those spots but other than that it looks to be a good functional bike and I've heard good things about the super sports.













What originally caught my eye was the crank set which seems to be a 144 BCD sugino double, and I thought hey I can use this for one of my fix gears, which would be worth 80 bucks alone to me. But looking at the bike and seeing how nice it is I don't think I have the heart to part it out.
