I had this same bike as a kid. The blue paint and stainless steel tubing on the frame sold me on it. That color combo was ultra modern looking back then. There wasn't really anything else like it that I can remember. I just remember waxing it, and looking at it and thinking "man, this bike looks nice." The bike itself was so-so, entry-level. I might have paid about $159 (maybe) in 1976. I really wanted the Kabuki Diamond Road (top of the line model), but a couple of bucks an hour was all you made back then. I did wind up buying the Diamond Touring, which I still have. That color combo still looks as good now as it did back then. Really nice!
