Need Help Identifying This Bike

Greetings!

A few years ago I purchased this bike at an auction for $35 CAD. I didn't get much info on it except when I took it to a pro shop the guy suggested it was from the mid- late 80's. It has a tange frame and was "Hot Pink" on the front half until I painted it all black.

Here is a picture and I hope someone can help me identify the brand and it's value.

Thanks for the feedback

Steve

I have no idea, but I can already tell you that:

(a) if it was worth something, it's worth a lot less after the repaint--unless the paint that you painted over was already paint that someone else had painted over the original paint (yo dawg, I heard you like repaints ). In which case, no harm done by you, but still worth less than with original paint.

(b) people here will ask for closeups--in good light--of the lugs (particularly the seat cluster), dropouts, and brake bridge.

(c) if you can make out any of the stampings on the lugs or elsewhere, provide that info.

(d) if you think that the components and fork are original, describe them, and look for date-code stampings on them.

Good luck.
