 +===== 1984 North Star ====
 +The rear derailleur, hubs/wheels and crankset are much newer than some of the other parts and are likely replacements.  The shifters have a nice "patina" and probably the best at dating.  The brakes are probably original but were made for decades.  Rear: Shimano RD-L523GS (1986-87), Front: MounTech v1 (1982-3), Crankset and cassette (!) doesn't match frame sticker of 15 speeds.  Stem: SR Sakae MTS-100 (1983-?).  Shifters: SunTour LD-2800 Power Thumbies (1983-85).

 +It could be a 1983, except that the original 1983 North Star had earlier components.
