[Help] Bike Identify
 

Hello, I bought a bike from a person who said that it was a 1978 bike. I'm in doubt of which brand, has the lugged different from the others, it is very long and sharp. I've found some similar ones, but I do not really know which one it is. Some photos attached.

The serial number is: 76L94508 or 6L94508 (I believe that in the beginning may be a risk in place of 7)

The fork is bent.

i live in Brazil. I think the fork is Caloi 10

Lugged have the color gold i think. And original paint i thin is red and chrome.

My 1982 Lotus "Classique" has a top tube/head tube lug like that, but it has all Shimano 600 Arabesque components.

To such a degree that it can't be debated! :thumb:

I dig the long points on the lugs.

Everything points to a 1977 model manufactured in late 1976. A '6L' prefix would be consistent with Bridgestone manufacture, while a '76L' prefix would be consistent with Fuji but both typically used SunTour/Sugino/Dia-Compe during this period,as oppsed tothe subject Takagi/Shimano. Given the corroborating date code on the Takagi crankset and the era appropriate 2nd generation Titlist rear derailleur, the components would appear to be OEM. One contract manufactured brand that would have a '76L prefix and use that headbadge rivet spacing would be Sekai. They also liked to spec long point lugs. However, offhand I can't recall any model using the Shimano/Takagi mix around this time. Doesn't look like a higher end frame. Possibly butted hi-tensile steel. What's the seat post diameter?

Edit: D'Oh! My mind my transposed the first two characters. '6L' would be consistent with a M-a-t-s-u-s-h-i-t-a serial number format, not Bridgestone,which would have been 'L6'! They did have a Panasonic Sport Deluxe model in 1977 with Shimano Titlist and what appears to be a Takagi crankset, though the catalog pictures show a claw version of the rear derailleur. I'm not sure if they used long point lugs and the badge was not riveted but it may have used pins on the backside?

It looks like it's the steerer tube. In that case, straighten it is difficult and dangerous.
