That's about right, I think we bought these bikes in 1993. They've been sitting for several years and I just got thru putting new tires and tubes on one and new tubes on the other. Both got new brake lever and shifter assemblies. The grease in the old shifters had them gummed up but a good bath in penetrating oil got them working again. However, I found a couple of new sets that I liked better so on they went!
