Royal Knight

found this bike, it looks late 70's, has sticker decals saying its a "Royal Knight" Suntour Honor front and rear, had no brakes on it, chromed steel wheels and handlebar. it fits me so thats why I grabbed it. it looks like cheap, taiwanese bike boom 70's stuff. its gold painted. the tires are holding air and its lugged from what I can see. just wondering if theres any other info to find or know, advice or comments, its driving me nuts because I'm a master at finding where anything was made, what era, quality and pricing and options but I cant even find a bike company named Royal Knight or anything. it looks like a cheap replica of my olmo, its heavy and everything once aluminum is steel on this, but it fits perfectly and its deffininitly 30+ years old so I think I'm gonna tear it down, clean it up and ride it.
anyone have any ideas, comments, advice or opinions?? lol thanx guys. how do I put up a pic? I can take a few pics with my blackberry and give it a go.

by the way, I saw a set of handlebars sticking out of a snow bank, after 40+ minutes picking thru solid ice with a car snow scraper I managed to free it from its tomb, meanwhile my wife was laughing and snapping away pics on her phone inside the car, calling me a big kid, idiot, and dumbass all the while... but it fits
