Thank you

Thanks man...I'm actually sad to report that this one is going as well. It was about nostalgia for me, but wouldn't get ridden enough to justify keeping it after my latest acquisition...it's also 80's mtb steel, but a bit nicer...rhymes with fountain moat

I had in first time Suntour rear mech , but I prefer Shimano deer head , the spring is better to the shiffting .

Perhaps; he has lots of siblings

Wish I had kept it, but I had to prioritize with limited space :x

I agree.

I like your handlebar-stem , I would like .. ; but I have a very good position with my Nitto combo

You know Specialized skewers ? , It exists ?

Thank you; the handle bar stem combo I used was not the best for overall xc performance, but it gave it the look I was seeking, and it made for a nice cruiser.

Regarding the specialized skewers, i want to say, yes, but I'm not sure, as most of my early 80's bikes use the bolt on axles, and the ones that do use skewers with q/r are suntour or sansin.

Thanks man

If I had unlimited space, it would've remained with me. I sold it to a fellow new yorker, so I might be able to get it back one day, might...
