Gotta love a Laserlite, recently got hold of one myself, ride it most days! I too have the one piece surgino crank (400's are SO expensive!) and have heard the same story regards swapping out to reduce cost b.i.t.d.
Yours appears to be missing the same original parts as mine (seat, grips, araya rims etc) What did everyone do with their elina seats and ogk grips back then!

This 84 is only missing tires, chain, and seat. Cranks are debatable as this setup is what it was purchased with. The Kuwi stamped Tange grips are og, Araya 7x with sealed Suntour hubs are also og. Very cool ride.

Cool!, seems there's lots of varients around (maybe differences between 83's & 84's etc) i had read an og laserlite came with OGK Cobra grips and Araya 7x Chrome rims as stock (which mine doesn't have sadly!)

Might just have been an availability thing, I have read in magazine tests that they either came with 7x or Ukai wheels. Kind of like when Mongoose ran out of unbranded hoops for thier pro class wheels they used Sumo, and Araya hoops to drill up as a substitute.
