I'm pretty sure it's a '79 model year with a '78 braze date. IIRC it's Nov of 78- I'm sure I could do some research, but I'd guess this is among that first few groups of "non-TX" bikes that were started in '78.
It was built as a 736 with an Arabesque 600 group on it- right now it's rolling with Suntour Cyclone derailleurs, Sprint shifters and Superbe brakes and levers. The crank is a Stronglight 99 BIS. Everything about this build is so superior to the Arabesque stuff... The Arabesque stuff looks SO cool, but the Suntour stuff just works
so much better.
