Your bike was the 1065th bike made in January 1978.
From our forum member T-Mar:
SERIAL NUMBERS 1976-1978*:
Serial number format YYXZZZZZ where:
YY = two numbers indicating the year of production
X = a letter, indicating the calendar month of manufacturer (A = January, B = February, C = March, etc)
ZZZZZ = a five digit number sequence, probably indicating frame number during month
Example: 77B13425 indicates the 14.425th frame manufactured during February 1977.
