To JunkYardBike:

It IS Snazzy!

My Uncle gave me a Sport DLX JUST like this (same paint scheme) - I will take some snaps of it and get the serial in the database pronto! (So now I have accumulated THREE Tange frames - the LeMans 12, the Sport DLX, and a Fuji Discovery MTB I bought for $10) I love them all, but the Sport DLX seems to fit better for racing, the LeMans 12 is a little longer (better for panniers in my opinion, and then the Fuji is for commuting and tooling around town on)... Pretty bike, dude! (I prefer that "Miami Vice" look!)

Update: OK, I am having problems reading off the serial (thick paint on the BB)... Here is what I think it says: (F?)70509(6?)0

Here are the pics:

















Judging by the components, what year would you all say this is? It has Shimano SIS Light Action shifters (plastic), and Sugino VP crankset. Also has Shimano aluminum brakes. It is marked "Made in Taiwan" - I know its prob mid to late '80s... I love those colors!

Peace!!
