Look Ma, No Hands!
I purchased this bike from one of my lbs. I went into the shop to purchase some other parts and saw this on the floor, I liked it right away, struck up a conversation with the owner and it went home with me. It needed some love, front derailer clamp was cracked so I found an exact replacement on Ebay and changed it out. The brake levers had hoods that basicly turned to gun and disintegrated so I removed them and cleaned up the levers and installed new foam grips. Pretty cool bike with the factory racks front and rear. I went through the bike and replaced the brake cables and cleaned it up a bit. Found some pedals for it since they where long gone. Here's some pics as found.

I have since removed the bags because they where kind of old and nasty. I didnt like the way the front one attached with a bunji, didnt want any paint damage. I have both bags but I doubt I'll ever put them back on.

I think the bike is a 91 but I'm not really sure.

I removed this pump bracket and found a Zefal pump that mounted up without brackets.

Yes that's a ding in the top tube right at the S. Doesn't effect how it rides.

It's a pretty clean bike for its age. I'm happy to own it and add it to my collection.
 
Here's some pics of the old and newer suntour derailers.

I found some nice Schwinn toe clips to go with new aftermarket pedals.

The pedals are actually pretty nice for repops.

New pump and new seat!

I dig this old 15 speed touring bike! It suits me just fine.
 
Very nice hardly used SS, sweet. The decals looked late 70's-80's to me so I checked. Pretty sure it's an 81.

Thank you for that. I think the p.o. added the safety levers to the brakes judging from that picture.

I would think the Suicide brake levers were used across the board on the road bikes and you just can't see them in that catalog image.

I would have thought that as well, but I'm not so sure on this bike. I haven't seen the safety levers in any pictures anywhere. But I'm keeping them.:D
