Dating the Frame

Submitted by gridplan on 01/18/2008.

It looks early 80's to me. You might find some clues in this post from the Classic Rendezvous archives:

If that email doesn't fully answer your question, you might post directly to the Classic Rendezvous list. Your bike is likely just under their 1983 cutoff.
