maybe some of you could help in further identifying and appraising this bike.
it is a sakai, model, i'm not sure --- there is a decal near the front that says "relay".
serial #: M5B05920
thanks!
It's definitely from 1985 and an entry level sports/touring model, based on the stem shifters and what appears to be 27" wheels and stamped dropouts. The model is probably a Relay. Future pictures should all be taken from the drive side, so we can identify the crankset and derailleurs, which are a big aid in assessing the bicycle.
