I had the same bike, same vintage (bigger frame). Same color. I loved that bike. Nice frame, it fit me well. Decent components. Shimano 105 with Biopace cranks. I didn't even mind the cranks -- I don't know if they did what they claimed they would do, but they certainly didn't bother me. That bike saw a lot of action. I even lent it to my brother for a year while he worked as a bicycle messenger in New York. There was a period of time when I wasn't riding because of really bad knee trouble, but when that was corrected, I took the bike back from my brother. I was just getting started riding again when the bike was stolen from me in 2001.
Still miss it.
