Another that I'll not get round to. 1990 Sakae Litage FX bonded aluminium road frameset, a really neat design that was lighter and stiffer than any comparably priced steel frame of the time and looked like the future to boot. These frames were often rebranded for other manufactures (a la Alan/Vitus) including 3Rensho. I have owned bonded alloy bikes by Alan, Vitus, Bridgestone, Reflex, Sakae and something else French, the Japanese ones are built better!
Great original condition, some crazing under the lacquer but no looseness/cracks/dents/unbonding, all threads good and it includes a period correct Suntour headset (needs a grease) too as its a simlar grey anodised colour. The wishbone seat stay is a particularly nice touch, it has good clearances, double bottle mounts and internal cable routing, would make a great retro-mod road bike.
Suntour headset included, technical info below, asking £250 collected from SE19 or N1, I also have some period correct Sakae FX stem and correct sized seatpost available at and additional £25 to the buyer if wanted.
