Great riding Vintage Steel Bike, needs a little TLC to bring it back. 1970s Super Mighty Sugano original cranks and stem-These are COOL!. Campy Campagnolo headset. Rides and shifts smooth! Minor surface rust, paint chipped needs to be fixed.

For $280 you get the original rear wheel AND a 1990's rear wheel and derailleur changed allow 32 tooth rear Shimano cassette so you can go up hills easier!!!

For $180 you get a more vintage rear derailleur, and the original rear wheel/mavic rim matching the front, installed.

Size is 56 cm. Made in Japan.

Old bike suitable for Eroica L'Eroica rides, those classic European Style rides where you have to have down-tube shifters and old style bikes for a relaxed classic ride feel.

Frame is a good candidate for a 650b Fat Tire conversion, there's lots of clearance to run tires in the 30 mm range on 650b. As is, it looks like you should be able to fit 26 or 28 mm on 700c.
