Here's what I posted awhile ago about this one. "UPDATE: Talked to the owner and this is what he said. "This bike was custom built for me in Japan while I was assigned there in the 1980’s. I got into bike racing during my time in Japan. The bike was built by Mr. Sasajima at his shop in Tokyo."

It's a 60 cm frame and not the GITA we were thinking. Glad it's not a 56cm or I'd be trying to get it shipped."

We were on the way to Bryce Canyon a few years ago and ran across this pair at a gas station. The couple said the same, custom ordered while they lived in Japan in the '80s. I never found much info either, probably need to search in Japanese(Kanji, katakana) as there is no info in English. Nice looking frames though.

Just checked and mine is a little larger. This is maybe a 54?

Probably not really functional any longer, but I've not seen anything quite like these leather Balilla hoods before.

I can't see a seam anywhere. All I can think of is that it's overlapped-and-glued, or they moulded it from a tubular-shaped bit of the cow.

I thought this was overpriced, being painted the way it is. After looking at Bridgestone prices again, maybe not

My first encounter of this model is at the top of cypress mountain during the Eroica ride in April. @Andy_K was with @Random Tandem who rode a Teledyne on his tour from Canada if i remember correctly..

Hmm . . . not sure what goes on here. This is a screen shot of the ad for this bike when I open it. Am I missing something? $500 makes more sense than free but, I don't see where that is included, assuming my complete lack of experience with facebook is making me miss something?

Aha! Thanks, that explains it. Not a fan of posting a bike as "Free" if you want $500.:foo:
