Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

I assume that the OP knew that since it says so clearly on the downtube, but good catch on the unsafe too high handlebar.

to the OP, it's a mid-level bike of roughly 20-30 years of age based on the components. The Ishiwata tube set is the Japanese counterpart to Reynolds or Columbus ChroMo steel tubing, and the Sun Tour component group is B-C level, but pretty decent for it's era.

The bike looks nice and clean, and would be a decent sports bike if it fits you properly. And definitley lower the handlebars.
