I bought this from my friend/old neighbor who was the original owner. He said that he bought it in 1986, but I highly suspect that it is a 1985 model year due to the odd mix of suberbe and superbe pro components. This bike is all original except for the saddle, bar tape, tires and tubes.

More Info:
Original toe straps, original cables & housing, original brake pads (no shit!). I have the original saddle somewhere and the original bar tape was a royal blue cloth tape which I had to replace due to extreme decomposition. This thing even had the original gumwall tires on it when I bought it!
