1981 Specialized Sequoia Bottom Bracket
In later models the size of the frame was on one side and a serial number on the other. This was all together. This frame is 47cm. I believe the earlier Konno bikes only had the frame size, the bikes that followed these were made by Miyata & have a M at the beginning of the serial #.
