Cl find . Takara prestige. Good buy or junk.





Thanks for looking at my thread.

I just picked up this i think 80's takara prestige from my local swap meet for a low low price,

I saw the shifters, Suntour groupset and could not pass it up. It was covered in dirt but the frame showed signs of life.
after a nice clean up was surpriced that the wheels were true, paint shines so i Guess all those layers of dirt kept it good.
no major scuffs and the decals are clean.

-Suntour AR complete group( midline i read on another forum here )
-Alloy wheels

On the pics check out the brake levers.

---

Here is my dilema the frame is a 56cm CRo-mo 4150 but i ride a 52 or max 54cm and have another frame
A blue ritchey ( Etto bikes ) Ghost frame -- ARE the parts on this takara good or decent to build this other bike or
should sell it and shop ebay for better components.

ANY input welcomed.
