Any info would be appreciated. Catalogue scan?
What you have is a 1987 model. Contrary to the decal, the stays are not butted CrMo but plain gauge Tange Mangaloy, like the forks. It's misleading but the stay decals apply only to the main tubes. The Shimano Deore derailleurs and brakes are OEM. I can't identify the wheels from the picture but they are likely OEM,with Suzue hubs laced to 27", channel section, Araya 16A(5) rims. The missing crankset should be a Sugino VP 30./45/50T with KKT Pro Vic II pedals, while the missing saddle should be a Selle Italia. The weight sounds correct, given that the claimed weight for the 21" frame was 24.2 lbs. Original MSRP was $385 US.
