They would work fine. :daumenhoch: They are repop, but no point wrecking a set of Shimano's on a rider. :)

Pedals - why don't you try a pair of Victor DX? Cheaper than the Shimano's. Use them on my daily riders all the time. :daumenhoch:

First thing... Don't re finish that frame, original "early" frames are getting harder and harder to find. I can appreciate you wanting a different colour or a mint looking frame and you'll find one easy enough. On the phone it looks like an 86 as mentioned, definitely not earlier. These frames are much stronger when it comes to using a layback post compared to the Loopy ones so you should be ok, providing your diet is not exclusive to take aways.!. :daumenhoch:

you are sort of correct sean, yes the built in seat clamp was introduced in 85 but the bottom chainstays were straight not angled like on this one, this style came out in 86, this also has no pitbull mount which was introduced in 87 so it make it an 86 :daumenhoch:

cable holders were not on the 86/87, they came in on the 89 :daumenhoch:
