The RD on my friend’s bike is the Shimano Claris—nothing to set off bells here, for sure. For the price range, it seems quite right that the components won’t set things on fire; they are at least reliable. The canti brakes have the Shimano name but no model. Its missing the saddle and the brake levers but nothing that cannot be replaced. I am now more bent on just the brand—regardless of whether its a high-end model or not, is Asahi worth keeping? Rare, for sure but is it one of those under-the-radar names? Does not seem to have enough information in the forums or even online in general.
