Best for 5’9″-6’2″ riders.
This is a surprisingly well-made bike with quality components that was not ridden much and was always kept indoors. It is in immaculate condition, not a scratch. Nevertheless, I completely disassembled this bike and overhauled every component. This bike’s frame was built in Japan from Ishiwata triple-butted chrome-molybdenum alloy.
We replaced the original brakes with Dia-Compe double brake levers a.k.a. ‘suicide levers’, and added matching brown bar tape and saddle. Look at the last few photos to see the new additions.
This is Srinath’s bike now.
