If those rims are Araya's, I'd say '87
The reason I don't think '88 is the grouping would, I think, be Shimano 600 tri-color.
If the SN says '88, then it is a rare bird, probably the very early production run.
The '88's had a different Tange 1 sticker.
If that's an '86, you've got a rarer one than the red/white '86, mainly due to color.
It's a gem, and I'm glad it fits you.
If you need anything for that bike that I have, just let me know.
Just found the S/N: N7E5998. The rims are Wolbers, but the rear one had been replaced, it does not have the same Wolber sticker on it as the front, and it appears to be slightly wider than the front.
