• Hi all,
    A longer time member back from a number of years.

    I have a great vintage Japanese bicycle which I no longer get to use due to injury. The paint work is excellent and the bicycle rides well. Legendary builder and rarity.

    I live in Brockly, SE London not too far from Herne Hill.

    Bought for £1350
    Selling for £850

    The good news:

    • Excellent paint work Mint or close to mint condition.
    • unique and original hollowed brake mount design
    • Full original dura ace from the period.
    • Rubino Pro tires
    • ultra rare hummingbird engraved forks and stays

    The bad:
    Slightly long handlebar stem.

    Photos to follow.

    Only selling due to injury!
