Yes I know this is a 16 year old thread

That’s the great thing about the internet!

Saw this and had to respond

”

#1: The '84 road machines were primarily Japanese-made machines from a single company. Other models in the lineup, such as the touring machines (my Alyeska, for one), were Taiwanese production.

”

I’ve had an Alyeska for only a few days

VERY happy with it - and the way it rides

I was expecting it to have been made in Taiwan.

The rear mech is date coded Dec ‘83

The frame number starts with 4, so 1984.

BUT

The first letter isn’t an M or N

Seems to be C (possibly G)

Any suggestions of where it was made?
