Yeah ideal TBH, sealed bearings! Thing only does a few hundred miles a year so handy that its not sucking in all the dust from workshop into open cage type bearings all the time. Its such a nice bike shame we don't have more time to take it out

Make sure the stack height works, the cartridge bearing one is 3mm taller than the open cage Tange Passage. I wouldn't worry too much about "seals" on a fair weather bike, my Hirame still has the original open cage Tange Levin from 1986 and it hasn't even been apart for cleaning and relubrication.

Dunno if it’s 70s looking enough but looks to be fairly good value!
