I had a 86 Alyeska which was the model below the Kodiak. I loved the brown color but it was a little small 19”. Only paid $175 so traded to my bike shop owner. I agree these vintage toured are great. And many weren’t even used much. The woman I bought mine said used for college then got a car and didn’t use it.

Great bike! I had an 86 Portage set up similarly with the exact same front rack

only issue with these bikes is the tire clearance honestly, if they could get 45mm with fenders these are the only bikes id ride.
