Identify Panasonic bike
 
Hi all,

I've got a Panasonic bike recently, but have not idea what year and model. COuld you please help me identify it?
The only one serial number is located on a rear dropout 0E12018. It's has a Shimano FF 10 speed system.
Front Shimano Fe derailleur and Falcon rear. The bike is required good maintenance, but I think it worth it.
Thank you in advance.

The serial number indcates a 1980 model, while the Front Freewheel System in conjuction with drop bars is indcative of a Villager II, which was 6th out of 8 models in Panasonic's line of drop bar models. The Falcon rear derailleur is a replacement for the OEM Shimano Positron II derailleur.

Thank you so much, T-Mar. Much appreciate your quick reply.
Will try to disassemble and get rid of the rust, clean and lube everything.
The best part is I've got it for free :)
