Portacatena drops from the mid-late 70's, into the early 80's. (I'll have to go check the catalogs, but going from memory, it was possibly as early as 75, definitely in 77, and until 82 at least, possibly 84).

I think Richie changed from the old logo to the new logo in mid-82. I thought it might have the wrong decals, but the fork crown and the brake bridge also have the old logo...so, mid-82 or older? Is that a set of porta catena holes in the dropout? Late 70s?
