1983? Bridgestone Aries

I have recently purchased a Bridgestone Aries ten speed bicycle and have had quite a bit of trouble finding any information on it. I have spent hours perusing the Sheldon Brown website, Google, and this forum, as well as visiting my LBS but no one seems to have any information about the Aries specifically. The few things I have found about Bridgestone bicycles are that they made bikes with star names in Japan in the 80's, and some carry a cult status. I am less concerned with the value of the bike than its history and quality as it seems to fit me well and I feel the $125 charge was reasonable for my area. I am assuming it is an 83' or 84' because those are the two years of catalog I cannot find for reference. The frame is Hi-Tensile/Hi-Carbon with SunTour 7GT rear derailleur, matching front derailleur, and SunTour stem shifters. I also have the serial number but I'm not sure if it is appropriate to post (please advise). Any information about this bike would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance!
