That’s a very sweet bike, one of the serious Panasonic touring bikes.. but DRIVE SIDE! Cool half-step gearing on the vintage Deore crank though.
I always see these and want to put touring bars and bigger tires on them. But I think you have 27″ wheels, not 700c so you’re limited in what your tire choices are.

Looks to be an ‘85? Love the Tange! I have a 78 in the same color. Such a smooth riding bike.
