Here's one of two bikes that have been passed down to me from family members. I actually started this post in order to help ID this bike, but then came across this chart upon searching the forums, matched up the components and figured out what I had. This was purchased by my dad in the early 90s and I took it over four or five years ago.

I imagine the answer to this question is a bit more complex than "yes" or "no", but would this be an appopriate bike to tour on, given a new set of tires? I'm planning a trip out to California this summer and am thinking of taking this bike or a Bianchi that I'll post about in a separate thread. A Few photos:
