Thanks guys!

As far as I can see, it is all original except for the saddle and the bar tape. The saddle should be yellow, and the bar tape shaded from yellow to white. It looks like both are still available, as well as the set of stickers! So in theory, this thing could be restored to the brim!

The equipment is as follows:

Frame: 1020 guage (Plain) steel 1" diameter dog leg rear dropouts.
Fork: 1020 steel, flat crown, external lugs
Headset: Threaded, unknown provenence
Stem: Sakae
Handlebar: Sakae Road Champion
Brake Levers: Weinmann
Brake Calipers: Weinmann centre pivot cast calipers
Brake Pads: Unknown
Brake Cables: Unknown but with original orange/red sheathing.
Shifters: Shimano S.I.S thumbshifters on the down tube.
Front Derailleur: Shimano F.E
Rear Derailleur: Shimano S.I.S
Derailleur Cables: Unknown but with original orange/red sheathing.
Cassette: Shimano 6 speed
Chain: Unknown
Cranks: Alloy, unknown
Chainrings: Alloy, unknown
Bottom Bracket: Adjustable
Pedals: Welgo
Rims: Rigida Superchromix stippled plated steel. Now, the chrome is completely shot! I have never seen anything like it.
Hubs: Sachs Maillard

I normally don't like road bikes but that one is cool!
It doesn't matter what I paid for it, it matters what it's WORTH. I never buy anything I will regret KEEPING.

That yellow and white with the red and black lettering looks really sharp.
I tried being serious, but it was boring.
