The seller mentions PKN10, which I believe was a step below the PX10. The eyelets on the rear dropouts make me think that it might be similar to the 1981 PKN10E I had (and still 'have', only it's 2200 miles away in my son's garage). Only the 3 main tubes were 531, the rest I believe was chrome/manganese of some kind or another. (I also replaced the fork with a Vitus steel unit.)
>If is is, about what year?

It definitely looks to be of an earlier vintage than mine, which would put it somewhere in the 70's.
