I just bought a Road Ace 303. Never heard of them. It is in great shape just dirty and dusty since it was in a barn since 1987. I brought it to a bike shop and asked them a few questions of it but they said they haven't seen one of these in a very long time and don't know much of them or their history. I left it there to have it gone over. The decals on teh bike and the metal badge on the front have the pic of a kangaroo. Does anyone out there know of this bike and can give me some history of it. I will get it back from teh shop on wensday adn I will take a few pics of it and post them. I am hoping someone knows of this bike or has had one and can tell me anything of them. Thank you for any info sent my way. ymmc55@yahoo.com

The Road Ace was made by Marushi, the kangaroo label (not to mention the "Road Ace" name) is a giveaway.

I bought a 505 frame set when I was a teenager, it was my first quality bike.

I picked up a Rodachi 707 a while ago. Actually, that's what the seller's next door neighbor called the bike. It is Marushi made, Kangaroo label and all. The bike is fitted with Shimano Arabesque components. I should take another look at it one of these days...
