I have owned this Bike since 1996, I bought It as a basket case, and built it from a pile of parts, I have had a lot of fun with it and have had a great learning experience, I put a lot of time and parts into it, it has been a good road bike, it is very dependable, and I have not had a major problem or had a break down, It requires more maintainance than a newer bike but if a someone is able to do the work, it would, be a great bike for someone who loves to tinker, the only problem that I could not fix, is the transmission leaks I have put new seals in it and new parts, the transmission works and shifts fine, bit I could never get the leak fixed, I am trying to sell it because it has been sitting in my garage for the last 10 years... And I would like to sell it to someone who would be interested in having a project bike, and some one interested in having A older bike...
