This bike was purchased by me at a local dealer in 1993. I own no other bike. I will not upgrade to a new bike because this one is Made in USA, and there ain't much bikes now made in USA unless you want to pay like over $3k! I paid about $600 for this one. Minor upgrades were made such as seat, tires, handle-bar grips and new derailleur. Although the picture shows most original items, prior to some of the minor upgrades.
