Note the kick-stand mounting plate visible next to the bottom bracket in both IMG 0553 and IMG 0554. To me this suggests a lower-end bike from the early 1970s. Also, look closely at the thickness of the lugs. I'd say the frame is probably of Asian manufacture, probably imported from Taiwan or Japan for a department store brand - but I could be wrong.

All-
I posted a note requesting some help in identifying which brand/era a frame I have might be. A couple people suggested I host some pics, so I started a Flickr account. Here's a link to my photos of the frame, specifically the lugs. I also took some shots of the bottom bracket. Forgot to mention that it has an SR headset.

I'm not interested so much in a specific model, or whether it's high or low-end. Just curious what brand/era it may be.
