I also noted this is somehow missing a head badge (very weird...). Is it that hard to put a new one in?

Interesting! I would guess 1987 then given this has 27 x 1 1/4 rims. I did find the serial number on the bottom bracket (to be posted soon) that suggests 1989 is the model year, which surprises me...

Oh really! I had thought the Technium 400 had stem shifters while the other models had downtube, but I suppose you are right.

Agreed, thanks. Just to be clear, downgrades as far as brake levers and the front rim? Or more beyond that?

Good question! I plan to use this for long distance (40-60 miles, hopefully 100 miles at some point) rides through suburban and rural Maryland on asphalt roads. I'm absolutely going to swap front...

Hmmm OK, I think they are Dia-Compes. Good to know. I think I will stick to 27 x 1 1/4 aluminum rims for this and grab a set of 700c aluminum rims for the Panasonic.

Agreed. The rims definitely need a ton of...

OK, probably the Panasonic then. I do plan to convert that to aluminum 700c wheels though. I found some locally for $40 with a 13-30T cassette on the back wheel that's hopefully compatible with my...
