The seller swears that it basically unused (by him).
thanks, averybody.
I have a late 80's Brava and it is double butted Ishiwata tubing with Ishiwata cro-mo fork. It is a nice light good handling bike. I would be more concerned about the wheels and components when deciding the price to pay on this bike. People get to wrapped up in what the tubing decal says on it, not how the total package handles or performs.
I picked up this one for 45 bucks (well used)
