You are virtually right griff but I don't think 84s have the chevrons on the down tube support I think the chevrons came in October 84 which makes it an 85 model technically and a generation 3 sport Taiwan made by anlun model

Post by: benno on May 05, 2014, 08:40 PM: really lovely build that Nick :daumenhoch:
i'd still say its an 84 though :) http://www.harofreestyler.com/#!the-sport/ch24
85's had frame standers etc
