The component mix suggests that the bicycle has been extensively modified. Maxy cranks would be anachronistic with 1989 hubs and much lower level than Superbe Pro components. If you remove the forks, there may be a date code and/or manufacturer's stamp on the steerer tube. That could increase our confidence in the age and country of origin.
thanks for that. Will do some more digging and get some photos
