Hi Gang

I'm trying to identify an early 70s Japanese-built "Aero" frame with the usual squashed seattube and downtube, and Shimano 600 AX components. It takes a conventional seatpost (I gather dura-ace AX had an aero seatpost too?) Unfortunately the decals have been stripped. Can anybody suggest who was building these frames and what, if any, distinguishing features there might be. Given that this is a mid-range bike, interesting only because of the "aero" gimmickry, I realize this may be hopeless.
