I found a few more. I closed the original tab but I think it said they’re a 1989 model. white saddle, bar tape, and cable housings! (purple one has an aftermarket saddle)

I think that one is the most quintessentially 80s-looking of them all. Neither good nor bad. Dated, sure. But the colors theme nicely. Mine’s just plain ugly and stupid. Bright orange and purple is a bad look. It clashes. “Video Rock”? It’s bad.
