Thanks Chuck and Dale,

This opens the door to another question - my lust for steel lugged bikes just brought a gorgeous used Somec into my little bike fleet. Again, little history is known, and it also sports a Cycleart paint job, so it is possible that it has been spread to accept the 8-speed rear wheel. Do serial numbers have a date embedded somewhere? The inclusion of two bottle cage braze-ons leads me to believe it's very modern, but the pump peg and chain hanger just make me smile.
