You should be able to date the Miele within model year using the component date codes. These codes usually are the same as, or one year older than the model number. An excellent source for locating and decyphering the date codes is Date of Manufacture of Bicycle Components can be used to date a bike: component dating .

If you want some decals for your repainted Miele, I still have a small supply of original decals. I don't think I have the model name decal, but I can supply just about everything else.

By the way, some of the original colour schemes for the Binova were red to white fade, lilac to white fade and violet to white fade. If one of these turns your cranks (pun intended) you may want to keep closer to the original.
just wondering if you have a set of stickers to replace a set from a uno ls. thanks.
