Help with a BCA indentification

I'm trying to get some info on this BCA Mountain(?). Found it in somebody's outgoing trash. I've searched a few forums for infor on BCA, and I know it was a part of Ross. Sorry if it's a waste of whomever answers this time. Just curious about it's year of manu. and model name.

Anyways, the only distinguishing marks on this bike is the BCA sticker on the frame, the stamped BCA indentions on both sides of the upper point of the rear triangle (yeah I really don't know the name of those tubes), the seat it self says "BCAmerica" and "Mountain" on each cheeck pad of the seat. It doesn't have it's neck tube shield, or a model name. I'm pretty sure the fenders are after-market. It's a lugged frame with aluminium wheels and sprocket gaurd, what looks like early cantilevered breaks, and Shimano SIS hardware. The rear break line runs along the top part of the cross tube held by little archways (see last picture).

Here are some pics.











Sorry if that took too much time to load.

I'm quite fond of this bike, actually. It may be the 80's equivalent to what you find in Wal-Mart now-a-days, but it's got character and I plan on fixing it up just for utility riding. I just want some general info on it, year, model, tips on keeping it working.

Thanks for any help presented. And thanks for the opertunity to be a part of the community.
