Yes, yours is a later year and better. I snatched a curb find 1980 Letour many years ago. My son has it now. It was lower quality tubing and steel wheels. Interesting historical story on the 1980 model is it was brought back from Japan manufacturing and made in Chicago for perhaps that one year. It actually rides decent considering the lower quality steel and the steel wheels. Yours is a much better find and will serve you well. Have fun.
