identifying frames is fun, part of the mystic of collecting from years ago when the numbers didn't matter unless you needed them to give to the cops to get it back after some scum stole it. stickers are useless cause anyone can put em on. looking at as many examples of the same thing seems to be the best way cause most frames had their own peculiarities. here's my thoughts on your frame.
i'm thinking it's a 1985 MXIII. it wouldn't be earlier due to the bends along the bottom of the drop out. there's no BB cross brace. it's a 4" head tube with correct forks.
the 600 was the full moly frame but with a little gusset above the brake bridge on the seat tube. i'm not 100% sure but i think the 600's had the serial stamped on the rear drop outs. if i'm incorrect please don't shoot, maim or kill me.............it'll mean that i'll have learnt something as well.

having said that, you've built a very fine example of what i think were the best bikes of their time. redline of course.

Interesting stuff. Trying to identify a frame is good fun  :) , i love the not knowing , how old , what model , is it rare etc etc i love learning off other restorers and hopefully we will all hit a common ground as to what it is  :daumenhoch:  :daumenhoch:
