Mirage or Nomad? No model name anywhere to be seen. After looking at a 1974 catalog specs page on line, I conclude it's a Mirage. 1020 tubing, chrome fork ends, available in a mixte frame. Poor paint. What looks like scum won't come off. rotting paint? ...upgrades to the bike include sealed bb, un-named alloy crank, shimano qr hubs with araya/ukai 27" rims, shimano r der, suntour lever and front der. Avocet seat, flat bars, sr stem. Has weinman brakes but are those original?
