Travis R’s Late-1970s Zebrakenko Fire Mixte

Posted

One of  the sexiest Mixte we’ve had on here, Travis R’s Zebrakenko Fire.


Late 1970’s?
Zebrakenko Fire
Long time viewer-first time submitter-totally addicted to the site. All original, fantastically preserved, Japanese made.  I gave it a tune up-tightening bolts and adjusting cables-and have been cleaning off the dust and dirt. Mostly, I’ve been riding it. The mixte frame and color (with subtle yellow iridescence) are what hooked me. It’s a tiny bit small for me, but solid and smooth. There’s a bike shop sticker that reads “Bay Cycleries”-I assume it was imported to the West Coast before being transplanted to the Midwest.
Travis R.

Thanks Travis

    Looks like a great bike, Travis! Good job finding the contrasting urban-concrete backdrop, too! What a nice amber/red SMR-equipped OTS!
    I thought Brugelmann Barellia was a tongue-twister, but Zebrakenko is giving it some serious competition!
