Its a Lotus Excelle; Shimano Arabesque; Sugino Super Mighty cranks; The real score was the long cage RD. I cannot ID the exact year; I thinks its a 1981 or 1983. Drop outs are Shimano.





I need to find better Dumpsters, that is an excellent find, I would love to find an Arabesque group free for the taking
