No, there is no 'standard' spec for a T/A, as it was only sold as a frame & fork set. Most colour combinations have been used, but mostly it involves black, white, blue or red components as these go with the chrome/white finish, and the red & blue of the decals. You don't see many with lavender, green, orange, pink or yellow parts because of the first comments I made.

I've kept mine simple as it's a chrome frame/forks. Gone with chrome bars, cranks, pedals & brakes. Seat and grips are black. It has black Tuffs on it too. Mine's also an '84. July.

Here is a rep of mine from BITD, the only bits are not correct are the seatpost, I had an SST command & the bars, I had Star Bars, but couldn't find these parts at the time of building.

I also didn't have those dropout savers, I had some tioga ones & mine had a chain 😎
