I recently acquired a Miele AzSora and an Uno LS. Neither one has a serial number that I can find. From internet sleuthing I'm pretty sure the AzSora is a 1988, but am unsure what year my Uno LS is.

This Miele is in Winnipeg. Triomphe model...1986 from what I gather. New paint but otherwise original parts except for freewheel and consumables : cables and housing, brake shoes, seat, tires and (likely) brake hoods.

I am a fool!
I was loading the photos from my cellphone and old eyes didn't look closely.
It doesn't help that this Miele, the Trek (winter beater) and the Panasonic Pro Tour (touring bike) are all blue
I did try flipping the spindle but no joy. Whoever installed it definitely use the wrong length. I feel like Goldilocks, my spindle is either too long or too short and i need one that is just right!
Not sure the exact model.
Has Columbus tubing for down tube, top top tube and seat tube.
Very comfortable rider. Originally purchased as a "winter beater" but it's a keeper!
Unfortunately it has an Italian threaded bottom bracket and while I'd like to change to a triple, I can't seem to find a correct length Italian threaded sealed bottom bracket or, alternatively, a correct spindle that'll fit a triple. Currently set up with a double but the spindle is very long (about a centimeter too far to the drive side) which is way to long.
Photo shows as acquired.
Seat is a now a BELT and wheels are now tubulars with a 40 hole rear. I still have the original Miele stamped wheels it came with that are shown in the photo.
Needs to have new bar tape and a correctly coloured bottle cage.
Drive side crank is out way too far so this winter I'll find another spindle. It's too long for a double and too short for a triple.

Miele frame w/Superbe dropouts
Picked this up, nice lug work, Suntour Superbe Pro dropouts,.Ishiwata 022 tubing, serial number on the down tube. I suspect this is an Elite model frame made in Japan.

Finished the refurbishment of my Uno L.S. today. Best I can tell, from going by component dates, it is a 1988. Oldest date was the front hub, a Sep 1984 Suzue LPF. Newest date was the Shimano SIS L541 RD, Oct 1987. I did find a serial number under the plastic cable guide on the bottom bracket - W6111828

I guess I can add this weekend's find to the mix of beautiful bikes above. It's a pretty nice Latina that's currently got a hodgepodge of parts and no longer has the original fork. Not sure of the plans for this one yet. Found out that 130mm rear wheel slips in pretty easily so that gives me added options. I did find a complete Dura Ace 7700 groupset in my parts stash. That may be the path I take this. Just not sure of the "vision" for this one yet as the black fork adds a different dimension to this one.
How I brought it home
700 x 27 tubulars on for now and my fit pretty much dialed in. Top tube decals trashed so I plan on removing those.
If the trashed bearing on the front hub can be replaced I'll probably use these clincher wheels on it.
Not sure what year it is. Haven't tried to pin that down yet and I haven't looked for a serial number yet. Hopefully I can get a test ride in by next weekend and then decide what to do with this one.
