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?

oh thanks for the pics
-it can't be a powerlite then, as it has a tuberear brake bridge
-not the flat specific style one
-bollocks

[HUTCHMAN]

yep,Craig's Powerlite has all the same hallmarks as mine.

[woody allen bars]

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

Don't give up trying to ID it

I've got an 82 or 83 Powerlite SR Expert, it has the same drop outs Woody allen bars' does.
