Yea, that's the only reference I could pull up when researching my bike. The bast*ard replaced the cantis with sidepulls

The only changes I made (besides the 700c wheels) was changing over to a cassette from a freewheel and buying some Cane Creek aero levers for more comfort/stopping power. I bought it new in 1984 for a little over $400, I believe. It really does ride smooth like a Buick.
