198? Miele Frame
An impulsive eBay purchase later, and I ended up with a mid-80s Miele frame. I know very little about it. It's Tange 900 tubing and my size. It needs to be cleaned up.
Anyone have any idea what model this might be? Even a year? I'm only guessing mid-80s, but I really have no clue.
The pictures below don't do the color justice. There's just enough purple in the paint to make it really stand out:

Not exactly sure what the vintage and model are, but I do have this Miele Catalog, if that is any help...

Thanks Randy. I did see that.
If it's one of the models in the catalog, it'd be either the Classica or the Alfa, as those are the two with Tange tubing. I do think it's older than the catalog though, mostly because the rear derailer cable runs above the chain stay instead of below.
I guess I'm not the most concerned about figuring out exactly what it is. I'd just like to know
