The serial number means nothing,
can't date it from that,
and good luck finding unstamped forks,

seatpost size is 13/16th's so smaller than a std OS,

get some LG's mate, 3-hole threaded, although if you is on a budget Coloredtuffs sell retro copies, identical almost to the orignals...

can't help on the serial no. either

Between 78/9? (The really early production sometimes had a round top tube) and 84 they didn't change in 85 the rear end becomes non looptail with straight chainstays.
