I bought a Mizutani and a Schwinn a few years ago for $50 and rode it a bit. Then I got more into bikes an realized how heavy and likely hard to upgrade the bike really was. But what drew me to it was all the intricate little fasteners and the badge and such. I figured it looked like it was built with care and functionality in mind. It appears to be the 'Sports' model but has the fancy badge and appears to have come that way. I can't tell if it's older or newer than the blue one above, it does not have those little welded on 'rings' for cables, it has shinly little clamps.
vannergy, if you could take a look at these and offer any info I'd super appreciate it!
