Yes there was four models higher than this one components were different but this one has a steel frame old brochure's say the top models had chrome moly frames.
Standard components for mine shimano RS derailliers and shifters, shimano tourney calipers, sugino cranks, stars brake levers "very light" and the funny part the bars are cheap steel but the exposed part near the stem is wrapped in alloy to make it look quality.
The interesting part for where I live is the frame was made in my home town. There's joke's and much interest in the brand where I live.
People actually raced them till the mid 90's.
