Here's my EM Team Panasonic. Bought the frame a few years ago and built it up how I wanted. I don't know much about it really, its Columbus SLX tubing and I think its from 1985?


The numbers and letters on the right side read 4617 and Z. And the ones on the left are an X above and 8, and also an A.

Mine differs from many Team Panasonic frames by having a full chrome fork, and both the seat-stays and chain-stays are also full chrome, the seat stays are chrome up to the seat post. I did wonder initially if the rear was only partially chromed and that the previous owner maybe rubbed the paint off , but I don't know, it does look like its always been like that, and I have seen another similar frame online in a smaller size that also had the full chrome rear and fork, so wondered if you knew anything about these versions? And would be grateful for any other info you may have about it. Thanks.
