I bought this from an older gentleman who'd owned it since new. It needed a lot of work but now it rides like a champ. I replaced every part on the frame with the exception of the chain and stem (which is getting swapped out for a shorter one next time I tape the bars)... Good thing I work at a bike shop!

More likely it was made by Nishiki. Great frame,every bit as good as Italian production(not RC dept). Suntour and Shimano gruppos kept them affordable vs.Campy. Nice resto.

I have the same bike. I bought it new in 1986 in Bamberg, West Germany. So I would think it would be within two years of this. I love mine and still ride her often. Mostly all original. Just changed the saddle and replaced the toe clips with straps. Yours is beautiful too and wonderful upgrades.
