that is the late 70s frame style but the fork is newer than the ashtabula of a 78ish bike.
the serial number with the e9 along with the fork make me guess 1979, assuming the fork is original to the bike?
if it were 78, i'd have expected to see an ashtabula.
the old ads mention using AKISU forks on the upgraded model.

i'll have to check but i think my serial number is e8 and the cranks and fork were also stamped 78.
