Thanks for the info. I've always loved steel, and the bike has Shimano parts that were solid for its era. I'll keep it.

At the time it was the best combination of fit and bang for the buck we could find. Since it was his first quality bike he was quite overjoyed with it. I would not hesitate to put a little money into one of these to make it my commuter, winter trainer, or main bike for an entry level weekend warrior.
