Frame in excellent shape, came with fork drilled for a brake. Fluorescent/pearlescent mustard color paint, fully-chromed underneath. Bought directly from Japan (big ups to Koteigear on tarckbike.com). It took almost a year to source all the right parts on my budget, and only few hours to polish them, but I finally got the bike on the road in May. The ride is unbelievably smooth and made me fall in love with cycling all over again.
Dyke-owned and operated.
