Today’s OTS come to us from Nick. This is an Azuki Imperial Nick picked up for $30 at a thrift store. It looks like this Azuki was so lightly ridden, Nick is breaking in the saddle the old fashion way.
Azuki Imperial
52/14 max ratio sugino maxy 171 crankset
Shimano hubs laced to Araya rims….
Dia Compe brakes with DUAL levers and quick release mechanism…..
Suntour bar end shifters…..
toe cages….
etc. etc. etc.
No wear at all on the chainrings or even the brake shoes…
Tires were dry rot (blew out while riding!), so I replaced with seca serfas.
Alreaded cleaned and repacked the front and rear hubs and the headset. May replace the cables eventually, but I don’t want any downtime with the bike!!!
Oh, it was 30 dollars and found at a thrift store.
RIDE ON!
