Julie S.’s 1980 Takara Horizon Mixte

Posted

Today’s OTS was sent in by another veteran of the OS section, Julie in OKC. This is Julie’s 1980 Takara Horizon Mixte.

Editor’s Note: I’m loading up Baby and Mrs. Ten Speed and heading down to Indianapolis for the NAHBS this weekend. You can look forward to some sort of old, crappy, 10-speed slanted report of the event in a post next week. Until then, have a great weekend and ride safe!

Taiwan made, bottom of the food chain model. She is being refitted with donor parts from the old Matsuri. Drive train/bars/even seat post. Shown is the old DT. A WIP, more pics this summer when I’m done. As a side note; I’ll keep the drops intact. Happy belated BD OTSG!

Thanks again Julie

    scored another Takara this weekend. A 50cm; 1976! A japanese marvel, before out sourcing to taiwan. K cycles made bikes for a number of brands. GREAT headbadge.Unfortunately it had to go one speed; as the wheels were toast. Kuwahara cycles is cast into the head tube bolt. Camera broke, when I can will send in pic.
