i thought that too, but the 460 was the entry level crit frame or something. it has the serial number on the seat tube instead of the bottom bracket, which according to vintagetrek means it was a japanese outsourced frame.
the chainstays seatstays and fork aren't anything great (i****awa 022 or something) and the rest is tange double butted, but regardless the bike is a good amount lighter than my flatmate's clockwork
