Re:

Orbit started in 1980 and are still in business, maybe they keep good records

hi they were grouped in reviews with other what was regarded as 'entry level' bikes back
in the 90/s cause they were competitively priced. orbit did a range which inc tt and i believe even a beam'd seat post model.
any 531 is generaly alright.[pro sounds good i dont remember that one i rem the America]

Re:

Despite the name, the Pro was actually lower in the range than the America - IIRC it was effectively the "training" version of the America - still 531c tubing but with dropout eyes and extra clearance so that you could fit guards.
