A 400 series would not have rack braze-ons, and I don't think they came in Gunmetal those years. 'Course, that said, I have one with the serial number of an '82 400 series, '83-style under-the-BB cabling, 022 stickers on frame AND fork, and rack braze-ons.
Am I the only one itching to know the serial number?
Space between the tire and fork crown does kinda suggest it's on a 700 up front; IIRC, the 27s stuffed into the original fork pretty snug.
