The serial number may provide further insight on the exact year and identity of the frame manufacturer. Even if the OP isn't curious, I'd appreciate the serial number for my database. TIA.
Since you wanted the serial number for your database I thought I'd pass this along. This is a big frame that was used to sweeten the deal on a $40 Nishiki I bought from a storage shed sale. It looked like a low end bike but since it was basically free I'm investing in a fork and I'll rebuild some old steel rims and clean out some low end parts to get it back on the road. Any remarks would be welcome.
