IF it has Shimano bits, they'll have a 2 letter date code.

Didn't Argis (sp?) use a similar seat binder and curved seat tube? Some of the parts look to be late 1980s to early 1990s. Andy

Would someone really go through the trouble to fake an Iron Horse though? I'm genuinely asking, it seems a little far fetched to me, but it was before my time.

Found this article. Indicates that GTI (company name prior to Aegis) manufactured frames for Iron Horse:

I'm going to guess that GTI stands for Graphite Technology Inc. because that's the name printed on the seat tube. Which makes this a genuine iron horse technically.
