Cheekthirtysix had an 80's Powerlite, not sure if he still has it though  :-\


Better to crash and burn than fade away

I've got an '86 Powerlite (dunno if that counts as early or not)

Here's a pic from the front where you can see the fork dropouts:



The rear drops look like this:



And the rear brake bridge bears the serial number, starting with the year of manufacturer:



The headtube has the strengthening rings too.

Hope that helps?

Dunno if all Powerlites had plate brake bridges - could have been tubular earlier or later.

Don't give up trying to ID it  :daumenhoch:
