However, since the general consensus is that this bike is Japanese, if I cannot get a positive ID before paint time, I have enlisted Dennis Young's help in coming up with the Japanese characters for the word "what?" which will become the head tube decal.
I just want to thank you all for your help with the mystery bike. List members have offered various parts for it, suggested good painters (affordable too!), referred me to LBS sources that might be able to ID it and the possibility of having it ready for Cirque - since it is most likely era - is increasing.
