Hi Amy, ignore him :LolLolLolLol:
It's what you think it is, for sure.
I have one myself, which I bought to replicate the bike I had aged 13, in 1985.
As far as I'm aware, none of these are stamped, so difficult to tell if it's an '84 or an '85. I would guess that yours is an earlier one, possibly '84, but I'm only basing this on the stem (mine had a Suntour copy), and your decals (mine had prismatic ones).
I do know that they were made in Brierley Hill in the Midlands, very badly, but as a result of their poor quality, they are quite rare, this being one of 5 (to my knowledge).
