1975 Favorit Special (1st Gen. Dura-Ace)

This is a rare and very well-preserved Favorit Special sporting a full 1st generation Dura-Ace group. It had one owner and saw limited use.

The bike has been fully overhauled and tuned up.
Drivetrain degreased, cleaned and relubed (freewheel was flushed out and relubed because it was gummed up).
Both wheels have been trued, as well.
It has new bearings in the headset, both hubs and the bottom bracket.
New tires/inner tubes and bar tape.

It has one small dent on the top tube and some minor paint chips that have been touched up.
