I'm very excited, I've been looking for a nice vintage down-tube shifter roadbike for awhile now. Since I well-remember the late 1980's beach colors fashion trend (thanks, Miami Vice), finding one in turquoise/white with a pink water bottle cage was icing on the cake.
Congratulations! You got one AWESOME bike that punches WAAAY above its weight, and for a killer steal of a price. I don't suppose you're the guy who beat me to the Cannondale SM500 somebody listed for $10 in the Greenville area, are you?
