vista bicycles

I obtained a Vista bike last week from a local thrift store. It is Red and marked as a Summit model. Considering in was made 30-40 years ago, It is in very good condition. (some scrapes and scratches in the paint) Comparing it with my Schwinn World, I see very little difference in quality. They look like they could have been made in the same factory. The Vista has the following decals: Seat tube- 4031 chrom moly steel; VISTA Made of Excellence, by, H.J.C., Dallas; Made in Taiwan. Top Tube-Vista Summit. Head Tube: Emblem showing a Crown over Vista. Down Tube: SUMMIT. Rims are aluminum and marked ARAYA, 27X1 1/4, W/O Japan. Shifters are Suntour Power. Brakes are Dia-Compe. Derailours are Suntour ak. Crank is Sakae CR. Pedals marked as HTI-A1. Handle Bar is aluminum and marked on one side with a crown over HSINLUNG. It is fun to ride.

Note: e-bay has one listed untill June 8, 2008, that is Black in color, and marked as a Vista Espodo. It shows clear photos detailing components and decals. The only difference I can see is the Espodo has Shimano brakes, derailours, and shifters; crank is alero. I also could find no other information on Vista. Hope this helps.
