Wanting a restoration project for the upcoming cold season, I searched for months until I found this Japanese bicycle for $30. I think it's a 1987 model. It needs some work, for sure, but I think the Tange steel frame is in good shape and I'm hopeful I can get it back to a state where I can use and enjoy it regularly. It has 6 gears in the back, down-tube shifters, and 36 years behind it.
It has a couple things I've never encountered before: 1) a quick release with a thumb screw lock on the end, which actually works quite nicely, and 2) MKS pedals with a flip-aid detail on the bottom side. Maybe these features were more common than I realize? I dunno.
