Any info on this bike?

[Scat Adams]

Was given this bike by a friend, wanted to see if you guys had any more information on it, google hasn't yielded any solid results.

Has Shimano Tourny components and overall is a really light bicycle;

Cheers!

The crown mount side-pull brakes and cotter cranks on a decent man-sized lugged frame would suggest that it's at least 35 yrs old, probably more like 40 or 50. I would hazard a guess that it's probably imported from Japan or Taiwan, and probably originally had Maes bend handle bars.
