Originally it was gray and had Tange 900 decals, but I can't remember the model #.
It has the original Shimano Cantis.
2 bottle cage mounts
eyelets for racks and fenders (front and rear) + lowrider mounts
"S" seatstay caps
26.8 seatpost

I have it set up for touring and it's very smooth and comfortable.

Any information on the year, etc.
is appreciated.

Seems to be a non-standard serial number, but possibly points to a 1985 or 1986 model. I don't know when Tange 900 was introduced, but I know that their tourers up until and including 1985 were made with Tange #2. So perhaps yours is slightly newer? They also had a tourer in the later 1980s called the Alpine GT, which used Tangalloy 2001 tubing, or something like that...
