Vintage Takara Road Bike 10 Speed for sale in Fairmont, Minnesota

$75

Great Condition Vintage Takara 10 speed road/racing bicycle. Has 27" x 11/4" wheels/tires, and 25" frame. Has some nicks and chips from use but total quite good. Bought it from a next-door neighbor a couple of years ago after he had actually saved it for several years. Everything looks to be original devices in original condition. Chrome is still good. The frame is stamped KUWAH 888, the Deraillers and brake parts are all Shimano 600. The Gooseneck is Dia Compe, and the wheels are Araya, Japan. The pedal Cranks are likewise Shimano 600. It is quite light-weight for the age, 28 lbs. approx. Deraillers move freely. Brake pads are set but work and the cables have to be eliminated and oiled up as they do not launch as fast as they should. The tires hold air and are OKAY in the meantime but sidewalls are extremely dry from years of storage. The wheels hold true. With some small tinkering, this can be a great vintage roadbike. Call or email for consultation to see it. Not available after 9:00 PM.
