Nice find enjoy! Have a 92 Series 5, ( purple spatter) but the frame was a bit small, even though the largest made. So, found a 91 OS Waterford Paramount frame in a larger size and traded parts. Cannot really address the ride quality cause the Waterford frame fits way better, but the quality of paint, fit and finish was way better on the Panasonic version.
Rebuilding the Series 5 for my son-in-law, using the 1055 105 components, but the purple splatter will be history, I’ll post a pic when it’s done.
