Thanks for the link E. We thought it was late 90's but now we have it nailed down.

Yeah I owe RHM a debt of gratitude. Usually when I am down in my dungeon working on a bike she is not interested in what's going on. Tonight though, she was down there with me and is quite excited to have d/t shifters vs brifters. She thinks they (brifters) are too bulky for such a little bike.
