The frame is built with quality Japanese Tange 900 chromoly steel—lightweight, smooth-riding, and exceptionally durable.
It’s undergone a complete tear-down and fresh mechanical rebuild from the bare frame up. Every piece of hardware has been cleaned, serviced, or upgraded to ensure zero mechanical headaches for the next owner.
Up front a comfortable, subtle riser handlebar paired with fresh purple grips that really pop against the frame. New rubber with Kenda K161 tires for excellent traction, puncture protection, and smooth rolling on city streets.
Headset completely disassembled, cleaned, re-packed with fresh grease, and dialed in with zero play. Rear hub fully serviced with fresh Grade 25 precision bearings, new dust seals, and repacked grease.
Bottom bracket shell completely serviced, re-threaded/cleaned, and fitted with a brand-new Shimano BB-UN300 cartridge bottom bracket for a stiff, maintenance-free pedaling platform.
Streamlined 1x7 setup featuring a bulletproof Shimano Acera X rear derailleur paired with a freshly overhauled Shimano Light Action downtube shifter set to friction mode for effortless, smooth shifting across the entire 7-speed freewheel.
Mechanical condition is 10/10—tuned, quiet, and ready to ride home today. Paint and decals show nice vintage character and patina appropriate for its age, but the steel frame is structural, clean, and straight with no dents.
