Always ditch the 3 chainring setup, go 2x if keeping oldish looking or 1x if modernizing.
Damn, that paint is amazing.
$45

Here’s mine (92??) with a drop bar. Might end up installing a moto bar 🙂
That’s a good buy. Garaged in great shape. All original when you see reflectors still on it.
Shimano Exage 400 LX was made from 1990-1992.
The 1992 catalog shows different colors and graphics, so i would guess 191
