broncoza Posted April 28, 2022 Share 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.
