It has a sticker head badge: HKB lettered vertically (as someone mentioned in an above post), but no additional model information on it, and my online searches for similar frames have been unsuccessful.
I worked for Alex Lee at Motorless Motion back in the 70s. He was the importer for HKB (Hong Kong Bicycles). "Chimo" was the high-end product, there was another line from HKB but I'll be darned if I can remember the name right now...
