1978 Patterson Long

Owned this since 1981, last ridden around 1986. Stored in parents basement 20+ years til now. Any help on history appreciated with this one.

If anyone knows production numbers or other interesting facts on these older pattersons, feel free to let me know. I got this in 81 from my step brother in trade for something, originally it had blue arayas, orange seat and I believe the decals were chrome backed. I added the white decals around 83/84 along with the white pad set. Currently it has: Cranks: Redline Flight 400 Pedals: Suntour Chain: Wal-mart Bars: GT BMX (standard, not pro) Grips: A'me Tri Brakes: Dia-Comp MX Rims: Araya 7x Hubs: Unknown Tires: Tioga Comp III (like new) Seat: Kashamax aero The serial number is on the bottom bracket, # 00256 (Very low number, why I think it's a 78 model)
