Shinwon Tsunoda
Hi all,
Found this while browsing local CL: Older Shin Won Tsunoda 10 speed
Looks like a neat bike, and has what appears to be an early 70s Shimano drivetrain. I've at the very least been able to ID the rear derailleur as the Shimano D310. I've kinda been itching for something to tinker with since I got my commuter all buttoned up, and this looks like it may fit the bill. However, I've never heard of the brand, and was hoping someone might be able to provide some insight as to what it's worth. Don't want to insult the owner with a lowball offer.
Thanks!
EDIT: After doing a bit more digging, it appears that this bike may have been a cooperative venture between Japanese manufacturer Tsunoda, and Korean manufacturer Shinwon. Still not sure about the details, but my thinking is that the fact that it was outsourced from Japan to Korea indicates it may be relatively low end. Still, I'd like to know more about it.

I agree , 10 in that condition. Its a very low end bike no real upside except a rare name.

I would go $50-60 top dollar I kinda like this one it has a lot of character. Also the rack is worth $20 maybe $30 more than the bike to a lot of buyers.

Well, the seller is willing to part with it for $20, so I guess I'm up to 4 bikes now! Like @zukahn1 said, the rack is probably worth the $20 I'm going to pay.
