This has been my commuter for the longest time and I really beat the shit out of it. It was pretty scuffed when I bought it (about 10 years ago from someone on this very forum) with a ding in the downtube and chipped paintwork.
At some point the seatpost clamp cracked so I'm looking into getting it fully repaired / restored / repainted with some new decals made etc etc.
Not sure what it would have originally been equipped with but it had a DA stem, seatpost, and (road) cranks, and a 600 headset. If the crack is salvageable, I'd like to do it a solid and put some nice parts on it. I've reached out to the original manufacturer to get their input on its origins or what they'd recommend.
Oh, also, shame of all shames, when I was commuting on it I got the fork drilled because I was a child and poor and wanted to have my cake and also eat it. As part of the resto I'm going to get that filled.
