The components are a little funky. The brakes are Tourney, the front and rear derailleurs are Altus. I thought Altus was a MB part? The crank is a Takagi. The shifters (Shimano) look to be mounted on the handlebar stem (they were removed). The cable guides are all clamped on. The levers are Shimano Dee 50 and the handle bars are ALP Champion. The stem is Ace.
Thanks Brad
Yes, hopefully you're still following this thread. Based on the components and serial number it should have been manufactured around the end of August 1979, which makes it late enough in the year that it may be a 1980 model. To detrermine the tubing, we;d have to know the dameter of the seast post. Given the era and level of components, it is most likely plain gauge CrMo.
