One of the more fun and unique features is the Suntour XC Sport rear derailleur which has 3 pulley wheels! It's also in excellent condition. It has new bar tape, tires, and shift cables. Everything else is how you would have seen it in 85'. There are just a few small chips in the paint but no big marks, scrapes, dents, or cracks. Please see all photos to get a better understanding as to the condition this bike is in! It's a time capsule that is ready to ride!
