Looks to be a super course mk ii, although no 531 decal. Worth a closer look.

Agree with oddjob...appears to be a super course...but...even if not, if you can get it for $50...you should be able to, if nothing else, part it out and come out ahead...

Up here in Portland that'd be a no-brainer. Gotta imagine SF area is pretty close to the same. Good color, lots of style points when it comes time to resell.
