Rescue - 80's Zebra Racer?
Garbage rescue!
I figure if the frame checks out, I'll replace the rear derailleur, get a wheel, throw on a seat I have in the garage and this will become a "if they steal it, so be it" grocery getter. It just happens to be the right height for me.
As beat as it is, I bet before someone snapped that rear derailleur everything still ran. Can't kill those mass-made 80s Japanese ten speeds, can you?

Good Rescue! I have a late 70's Golden Sport Zebrakenko right before they went over to the Zebra model.
