I purchased this bike used in in 1986 while living in Milpitas California. Components (front/rear derailleur) were replaced before I bought it. I have never replaced any other parts so it's original from 1986 when I purchased it (including the Ritchey/Specialized Ground Control Tires). I have had it ever since but rarely ride it. The bike is now in Virginia. I am going to have the bike put back to riding condition.
Is there a URL where people can read or see more about your bike?
