Thanks as well! Nice story too. It's probably a transition model between the top tupe guide, rainbow decal model and the totally bare and ****er boss-les model. This 1979 has the toptube bits though? http://lincolnsmithy.files.wordpress...eteinstand.jpg Anyway, I mailed the folks at ALAN, see what they have to say.

ps.I also had a competition model frame, that has the stays attached via allen screws. Too bad the lineup and the names varied so much over the years, it makes it hard to keep track. I also found this brochure online, I HAVE to find one of these mixtes for my girl!
