I believe that the model is of 1980 to 81 vintage. The bike had very tight 74 degree parallel angles and very narrow 1 inch wheels. The importer was in Hamden, CT just north of New Haven. They set up dealerships throughout the state and then started selling them right from their warehouse. Did a wonderful job of undermining the dealers. There was a glut of them around for a while, great deals while they lasted, which was not long. Decent bikes with decent equipment.
