Full number is TD11017703. The only marking on the frame otherwise is LUNG I (or 1) MADE IN TAIWAN on the steerer tube.

Also, something I did find whilst searching this thread was a 3 year old reference to the Australian Ricardo brand. These were made here in Adelaide, South Australia. I have attached a picture for T-Mar as reference.... L7L1719 is Leisure Cycles, 1987, a model code, a sequential number.
I don't know who manfactured the frame but the serial number appears to use the most common of the Taiwanese formats. In which case would represent October 1991 manufacture and therefore most likely be a 1992 model.
