Very nice.I think the Acs slant stem makes the bike look much better than with original Acs stem.

Re: 1986 Schwinn Predator Free Form EX

This one was mine when I was a kid and has been in my parents attic for years.  I think it is an 86 but after looking at the serial number, it may be a 84.  Know any place that I can look it up to be sure?
