@NNN This thing had been outside under a deck for literally decades. Fortunately it's the kind of deck that doesn't have gaps so isn't even that rusty!
It is rusty, tho'. Just... not what it _could_ be xD
@NNN None of which means you're wrong - hopefully it checks out. It's _surprisingly_ light for having a steel frame.
this thing has a lot of matching and non-generic parts, how do I even do (lol)

this does date the bike reasonably specifically to 1993
oh noes, it did
but amazingly they are _not_ all that corroded - and have a date! 07/2000. So…. installed 1997?

one of the battery contacts is literally broken in two, I patched around that and it still doesn't light up with new batteries. so this goes up to the bench to work on in the evenings. I'll salvage it if I can, of course.
@moira
Nice long rear triangle.
Canti brakes =
put drop bars on it and it's a Randonee
