New Road Bike

Tammy and I went up into Maryland today for a huge annual bike swap.  The goal was to find myself a road bike that I could take with me to Turkey.  I need something to get to/from work.  I had a few key criteria for the bike.  It had to be steel, it had to be cheap (under $400), it had to fit, and it couldn't look like a complete piece of trash.  Mission accomplished.  I found exactly what I was looking for.  It's a 1987 Trek 400 Elance.  Made in the US from 531 Steel.  It has semi-horizontal dropouts if I ever want to go SS with it.  It has rack/fender eyelets as well.  There are a few tweaks I need to make, like a new handlebar and some cross brake levers so I can slow down without being in the drops.  I'm also going to put some 30 or 32 tires on it to help smooth out the rough roads I am bound to encounter in Izmir.  Other than that, the bike is in great shape.  A few nicks here and there but it rolls smooth and silent.  Here are some pics.
