Finally riding a big boys bike
Thanks both Bulldog and Juvela for your information. Not trying to hijack the original posting, just trying to compare a lot of details on these machines so that we can perhaps better identify specific years. Did do some research on the Suntour components, as I knew very little on that subject. Bulldog I was able to locate some findings on another forum on dating these components. I am posting closeups of the derailleur dates as well as the freewheel. Hopefully this info will help some. Any info on serial numbers and head badges could be helpful to a lot of owners. I believe this 317 to be very close to all original. Going to leave it as is for a historical reference.
