More Info:
I was buying some used parts from a CL seller, and a neighbor overheard us talkling about bikes. He was an elderly guy, and he went into his apartment and came out with this bike, asking about it's value. I gave him my opinion, and made a "standing offer" on it. Over a year later, as part of a trade with the same CL friend, I asked if he could get the bike into the deal. He came through, and all I've really done is clean it up. I did swap in Cinelli steering until I had the SR stuff cleaned up and ready to go. It is very smooth and in great shape.

One of the best Japanese rides(along with the "Bianchis" by Nishiki). Solid and not to heavy. the Suntour parts are some of my favs.
