It's NOS and in my back yard. Well not really... but close. Scroll to the bottom. The seat stay looks different but it's hard to tell w/such a small pic. I think I'll have to go to Tacoma and check it out. The one other one I found was REALLY different at the seat stays but the rest looked spot on.
Thanks!
The other SR you found was probably the early 1990s Prism model. The seat stays went up to what looked like afork crown, but instead of using a single tube to attach to the seat tube, like a monostay, it used two parallel tubes. I believe they called it a double wishbone.
If you go to see the Litage, record the serial number, even if the frames do not appear to match. The differences may be due soley to the model and year. The serial number, when compared with yours, should tell us if they are from the same manufacturer.
FYI, attached is a pic of the Performance Corsa, which was listed as being manufactured in Japan, and which I believe is a pretty good match for your frame.
