Here's mine (I'm the original owner) purchased in Houston, Texas on April 17, 1985. Serial number the on bottom bracket is KD 10019 which indicates it was the 10,019 frame built for the US market in 1984. I've changed a few components over the years but these are the original specs: Frame: Tange #1, Fork: Tange #1 w/investment cast crown, Headset: Shimano New 600EX, Stem: SR alloy, Handlebar: SR alloy engraved, Brakes: Shimano New 600EX, Front Derailleur: Shimano New 600EX, Rear Derailleur: Shimano New 600EX, Shift Levers: Shimano New 600EX (friction only), Freewheel: Shimano New 600EX (six), Chain: Izumi 1/2 x 3/32 beveled silver, Crankset: Shimano New 600EX Biopace 42 x 52T, Pedals: Shimano New 600EX w/clips & straps, Rims: Araya 700 x 25C hard anodized, Hub: Sanshin sealed mechanism, Spokes: Stainless 080 Guage, Tires Cyclepro Tri-sport 700 x 25 w/kevlar, Saddle: Selle Italia Super Turbo (the 1985 catalog specs gold plated rails but mine are silver), Seat Post: SR alloy CTP-5, Handlebar Tape: Astral Italian padded. Sizes offered were 19", 21", 23", 25". The 1985 catalog shows colors offered were black/yellow, solid red, and a solid lavender or purple. However I remember a pink/yellow combination was also offered.
