I've never heard of the "Plus" designation. That style of headbadge does point to being a '60s model. Looking through the Data Notebook, black was not offered as a color from '64-69.
My take exactly. The pics are mere shadows. I can see that the crank's not the cheap type used on the old SSs, it appears to be a good one. It may be a lugged frame, a chromoly one at that.
Hundred seems good if it's the right size. Rather than my theorizing and everyone's trying to figure it out, you ought to look at it before dismissing it in favor of a Le Tour. A '80s -'90s Fuji or Panasonic is not criterea really, it's wide choice range there and perhaps more than a hundred.
For all anybody knows so far, that bike could be WAY above average. It doesn't look like a elect-welded SS, though it could be a fillet brazed. You need to look at it. Looks a 62cm anyway.
