There have been a lot of threads regarding this same topic. Things to consider. tire size, gear ratio, type of driving, engine horsepower (determines the level of build). Personally I would look for a newer 700 than the '84. The 84 will require quite a few upgrades to make it reliable so you don't have to pull it out in a couple of years.
