You have a 1985 Sport model William. http://mombat.org/Specialized_Specs.htm http://mombat.org/MOMBAT/BikeHistoryPages/Specialized.html
It's a little better riding than the pre-85 models that used a dreadful 67 degree head angle. Your is 70. I owned a '83 Sport that I bought in back then and kept up until last year. The ride was poor due to the head angle. But , yours should be much improved, so it could be alright for a touring bike. A Bombadil ... it ain't .... lol. I have one .... and the comparisons are not even close. Everything is better . Not to say your Sport won't be fine for you , it's all subjective. If you want to sell it ... leave it as is ! A used '85 isn't going to get you a ton of cash... so spending money on it makes no sense if selling it. I noticed however, that these has those Specialized Cranks .... these were prone to cracking inside the spider like Campy cranks. If you want to keep it to play with, do it because you LOVE the bike ... not because you want to sell it as you're gonna lose $$ on it then. Either way .. have fun :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
