I so wanted one of those in the late 80s! Nice to see Niko.

I think its from the last 80's or early 90's. It was one of my buddies wife's bike and she gave it to Sarah. If it were a size lager I could have some proper fun with it!

@nikoniko: i bought a cheap Chinese rip off version for 13,000 yen in 1988 and had it stolen six months later!!! Only to find it being ridden in a pub car park a year later and got it back!! Good memories!

What a weird turn of events that unfolded greatly, did you have any trouble getting it back?

I love how they used lugs to connect the tubes, it has an elegance and sense of craftsmanship that I adore!

Yes, its beautiful! I like the smoky paint over the white, definitely an area of detail that companies have lost!
