Takara 10-Speed

[54shadow]

Stopped by the Goodwill last Tuesday, Senior discount, ha ha, and found this puppy. Never heard of it, but what caught my eye was the, lug frame like the, Bridgestone I had, back in 1973. Also, was the last two low sprockets, they are skipp tooth. Cleaned it up a bit. Any way, here are some pics of the pick.

Before the clean up, aired up the tires and took it for a spin, rides like a dream, shifts like silk. May hold onto this one for a while.
