With the Cyclone derailleurs and sidepull brakes, I am guessing late 1970s, possibly 1980 vintage. Earlier in the era, with centerpull brakes, a bike like this might have had Sunshine high-flange hubs. For yours, consider low-flange hubs with Araya rims. That frame is significantly more refined than my 1971 Nishiki -- the Japanese really learned the art of fine framebuilding through that decade.
