classic design. wide fork crown, cantis, extra long wheel base. Will ride like a cruiser with gears. A bit of a copy of the early Stumpjumpers, Ritchies, etc.
Look for date codes on the derailleurs.

Looks like a clone of the early Stumpjumper. If you are going to copy something, why not the big boy? Still going strong, but a little bit different after forty something years of evolution

If it is wearing it's original Shimano parts, date code can be found on the back or bottom, build date can be deduced. I'd guess mid to late 80s
Thanks for the information it does have Shimano thumbies I'll check em, front derailleur Suntour, rear derailleur is Sun Race. See attached photo for serial number.

From what I've read on Takara, that "4" shows it to be a 1984 bike.
Thank you! I have looked on the internet for any information on Takara but cannot find much.
I like this bike. What a score!
I second that!
that's a nice bike. I'm surprised it has threaded axles.
