I'll be scorching the local bike paths on this hot Team rig!!

Nice. I ride one of those. That was a $400 back in 1991! I bought mine new and its still my main ride. I hauled my kids around in a Burley with that bike, they are now teenagers. Last summer I converted it to drop bars and brifters. Also put Continental 28mm tires on it and Planet Bike fenders. And finally replaced the chain after 17 years of use! Its really a long wheelbase bike and rides super smooth on the potholed roads of Illinois. Good-luck with yours.
