Wonder why this 70s Sports would have older parts.
It seems there's so many discrepancies with these later bikes to accurately date them This might be a Canadian model, judging by the alloy stem; 80's models even had alloy cranks. Terrible chrome of course. I thought 2 point chainguards were ubiquitous in this timeframe.
2 cents worth of opinion.
I've got a half dozen older chainguards in the stash if anyone needs one for the cost of shipping.
