Re:
These 80's mountain bikes are basically road bikes with off road capabilities. They are perfect for a toad like me who rides paved trails. You can ride a larger size comfortably. With that in mind the 85 Team is even more suited for paved trails. It's quick and feels light and responsive...
Sorry I didn't see your post. Did you see the fake Team on eBay?

The tell on the team frames is the lack of bottle holders on the seat tube and no rack mounts on the seat stays. The eBay guy calls them added options. Yea right! Strange how those are...
Re:
You should use the joist. I was able to lay a couple of 1x6 boards perpendicular to the ceiling joist and screw them in securely. Spaced them out so I could attach those big rubber coated hooks to the bike tires. The hooks hold great in the 1x6's

That black one is mine. I'm pretty sure it's a repaint and it's nice to ride something a little less Pink around the neighborhood
Reason I was snooping around was because I just got a Team frame back from the paint shop a couple of hours ago. OMG! It's incredible
Same shop and painter...
