The cranks cleaned up really easily and and I was surprised to find they were 165mm Wow. Who puts that size crank on a 60cm touring bike as spec?

All in all a cool find with some weird twists. I found this link to review of the bike by Gary Fisher from Bicycling in July of 1978.

<------ Bicycling Magazine 07-1978 ------> Zebrakenko Record Tour / Country Road

The second page of the review, which has the specs, shows that the bike was pretty much all original shape as purchased. The tubing is listed as "Speed Gallant" and I think that is Ishiwata 022. Oh and it has a really cool headbagde.
