Picked this up Saturday morning and it was a perfect rainy weekend project. Stag Head M700 group was the precursor to the Deore Mountain line. The Deore stuff was around back then but only as a lightweight touring group set

Wow!  That's very nice!  I love the handlebars.  What's the wheelbase on it?  Looks like a really slack head tube angle plus lots of trail and pretty long chain stays.  How does it ride?

Like a Caddilac...

WB is 43.25", rear end is 18,25, frame is a large. It's pretty cool to pedal around, the M700 shifters are the smoothest friction shifters I've ever felt, rides really nice like an old steel frame should, but it is a Cadillac, like an old one with a tired big block and drum brakes and a janky transmission. Way more fun to look at than ride.
