True, I wasn't getting past the the title which did hint at the possibility of Cinelli. My bad.

But 'struth, the cable guides indicate 80s vintage, the metalwork indicates non-Italian (most likely) origin, and the whole package indicates midrange but not extraordinary quality and workmanship typical of Japanese bikes of this period. Add to this the fact that by the 1980s companies like Schwinn, Raleigh, and Peugeot were (wisely) jobbing out their midranges to Japanese companies and you have to admit that the pedigree of this bike is anybody's guess.
