Sad you let that bike go. Those were fine Hand built lug frames. The 500 groups set cyclone is a very light and dependable system. the Top of the line dual channel eyelet Araya 13 mm wide ID is a very much sought after rim for 27 inch rims wheel set is worth the 129.
I have no clue where you got your info on this Japanese built bike but try to buy a nice 4130 lugged frame.
the aluminum seat post and the Selle Italia leather saddle is worth What ?
Give good OldSteele a break.
