Tange Prestige is good stuff. Originally had 600Ultegra stuff so mid range bike.
The earlier Ninjas were the cool ones. GT clones triple triangle.
Mostly a sport and recreation bike. A little room for a bit larger tire but no fittings for racks.
Awesome stuff!
By "racks" do you mean things to hang saddle bags off? Sorry lol..
I guess if i were getting a steel bike it would be for how well they come out of turns and roll, how they respond to handling, and how tough they are.. going by my dilettante interpretation of the ride
What would you say counts as a "top range" steel bike that might be found in frame form on online marketplaces?
