hey everybody.

my 07 diamondback transporter was stolen a few days ago. felt like a losing a good friend. it was the bike i planned on taking all the way from austin to zion national park in utah.

i had to find a new bike, because my old one was my only means of transportation. after a while, i came across a bike with the appropriate size frame within price range. it's a 1984 trek 510. mariner blue with red graphics, yellow cables and handlebar tape. i'm pretty sure all the parts on it are original, except for the wheels. i do plan on upgrading a few things eventually, but i've never owned a road bike before and i'm looking for any advice.

so, does anybody know anything about vintage trek roadbikes? i've only ridden around my apartment's parking lot (which is huge), and it definitely needs a new chain. i just wanted to see if anyone else knew anything about my bike, because i don't really know anything at this point. thanks ahead of time.
