Both NOS. Saddle is an Ariake Jaguar II NJS and the only NOS one I've seen with 3R branding

A few random bits n bobs. The stem (NOS)weighs about the same as the whole bike...

Possibly the most difficult parts to find?

Thought I'd post a few small frame details first. It's not in perfect condition. It's been professionally raced and has won keirin championships. Makes the chips even better.
Super End Japan drop drop outs. Super fat and hefty.

Ohtsuya bent BB shell. It's an actual piece of flat steel they bend, weld and then thread to create the integrated chainstay strut.

Shiiiiit , It's actually happening !
moar pics is always good with this project

Pics are good. I usually do not like njs and am full italy man. I love rarities and this is the shit. Maybe not in the level of my rossin but darn close.

Woah? Wherez this Rossin?

Edit - Got it. Wow. This is slightllly better?

Seeing I can't set up a live feed this'll have to do ;)
^^ cheers, think they're both great bikes but stand for different things and have very different looks.

Almost feel guilty bolting NOS stuff together!

Yeah I mean I'm massively jealous over that Rossin, it's a beaut. Probably one of the most perfect pursuits around. Hoping I find a rare Italian number after this. Won't know what to do with myself!

Can't wait to see the final result!

$750 for a set of pedals? deym!
