I had a 1980 for some 30 years and loved it. It had an Arai drum for a drag brake. I never put that many miles on it as i never had a stoker who loved riding as much as I but I did do a fully loaded tour from Jasper to West Glacier on it in 1982. I also used it to deliver kids to birthday parties etc. The only issue I can remember is that I wanted to raise the bars higher than the existing stem allowed. I visited Santana about that and was told by Bill McCready the steerer was some weird size (BMX??) and stems not readily available. He tried to sell me on a new bike instead but I didn't like their tig welded frames nearly as much as my fillet brazed frame. McCready actually agreed the old ones were prettier. I lived with what I had.
