Thanks, guys.
I live in New York City on the border between Manhattan and Queens. I would appreciate any bike shop or co-op reqs in the area.
The bike says champion, but the person I bought it from said it was a challenger. There is a smaller sticker that says Tange, so perhaps it is a Tange champion with lotus decals?
I really love this bike, so I am glad I will be able to change the handlebars.
