The lug on the front stem is a single lug, not the usual two lugs.
Can I prove that it was built in 1979? No.
I believe that it was built sometime in 1979, and after export to the US, and then to Madison Wi, it was not an immediate seller and was in the shop in the spring of 1980, when I was looking for a bike.
Ah, I apologize if the previous posts appeared confrontational but I am simply seeking facts to attempt to solidify things to move this database forward in helping people. Would have been quite a missing link to be able to verify those points I'm sure you can see.
And did anything materialize on your search for decals?
