It is a 25"... with a wheelbase exceeding 109 cm... a chainstay of 44 cm... a standover height of about 34.4... seat stem of 26.6 and the cranks are 172.5. There is nothing IDing the tubing -- it's one of the questions I'd like answered... though the fork dropout has Tange TL stamped in it and the rear dropout has Suntour stamped in it.
The original drivetrain appears to have been Suntour... GL comes to mind, but I don't recall now whether that is the original model I replaced or the replacement. It has 27" tires with steel rims, but at this point I am not sure which set is original. Prolly one of the no-name sets, cause I believe the Arayas in the closet came with the 70s Motobecane frame. By the end, I just had bike box derailleurs held together with gum and tape.
And yes... guess I gotta wrap my mind around parting with it... but I'd like to know what I've got first. It's been a good steed and with that long wheelbase, it was like riding a luxury liner...
