Specialized Sequoia - Classic 1984 bike - $300 (Capitol Hill)
e) From what I can tell, this is a 1981 Sequoia, which would be from the 3Rensho shop. Good deal. Thank god it's too small for me, or I'd be ditching work.
Anyone familiar with this model of Sequoia? I don't think I've seen that type of decal set (Specialized on downtube, rather than the model name) before. Looks like a Tim Neenan signature on the chainstay as well.

Specialized Sequoia - Classic 1984 12 speed bike. Specialized described this bike as fast touring: It has all the braze-ons for fenders and racks for touring or commuting, but handling is a little more responsive: not twitchy like a race bike, but not hard to turn like a touring frame. It is a small frame: 51 CM or about 20” from bottom bracket to top tube. I am 5’ 7” with a 30 inch inseam and have about 4” of exposed seat post. With seat, pedals, lights and racks as shown, it only weighs about 24 pounds.
I am the single owner: Purchased bare frame and then built bike from selected components. The fame was designed in California by Tim Neenan of Lighthouse frames, the Specialized frame designer from 1983 to 1990 and made by Yoshi Konno in Japan from double butted Cro-Mo tubing and Shimano dropouts.
