1975 Bridgestone Diamond

[broncoza]

Just finished a full restoration on this one,  ended up with full paint and new decals because the frame was bad. Very interesting construction with the main tubes going into a mould and the alloy lugs mouded to the tubes creating one unit.  Very stiff but not too light,  but it was a touring bike in the day.  Full Suntour groupset 2x10 sp with lovely power shifters mounted on the stem.  Rides very nicely,  comfortable bike.

Very nice. Is it fast or just comfortable? Like the accents and modern components on this classic
