The '85 catalog has the bike in blue and you can clearly see the name decal on the top tube. The '84 catalog lists the rear derailleur as Sun Tour ARX-GT, front derailleur as Sun Tour ARX, shifters as Sun Tour top mount, Brakes as Dia-Compe QS500N alloy side pull, and rims as Weinmann 416 27 x 1 1/4 alloy.
Update on the decals. I found decal glue residue on the downtube under all the grime. The FD is a Suntour ARX, The rear is a Sport LX. It looks newer than 84 stylewise. It has a 6 speed freewheel.
Thanks for the info. This may make a good rider for my daughter.
