Hi Jose,
When working over your Cuevas did you happen to find a serial number? I have an identical frame (same color with nearly the same components) I picked up in about '91 or so. It was NOS and nobody then or since has been able to tell me when it was made. Maybe if I can make it out to Cirque next year someone can shed some light.....................
