Here are some pics of the bike. It is basically NOS. Not a spec on it. Smoking nice condition and it fits.
Note the gear ratios

Thank you for posting them. I tried to spots that didn't work. The only thing I am missing are those Specialized Dust Caps. I am on the lookout for them.

I don't think I've ever met a Specialized bike I didn't like. (The only thing I don't like is the name Specialized.) This bike is one of the reasons I like their bikes so much. It's so perfect.

Agreed. It doesn't carry the pride or heritage sound of a family name (which is how most vintage bikes are named after as far as I know). The name "Specialized" makes me think of a firearm manufacturer.
Having said that, I recently found an Expedition identical to this one, and I'm not getting rid of it anytime soon.
