Not sure on the year, looks around 2000ish. but depending on the area it's easy to crude up a cassette like that. Problem is 8 spd stuff is getting really hard to find. 1500 miles means the chain is probably stretched a bitconsidering the drive train is crudy. 8 spd road chains will be harder and harder to find. My advice would be to look for a 9spd group and stay away from this.
