Mikado Touring

[BiketoBasics]

Hello, I had sort of an anti-climactic moment when stumbling across this Mikado Gaspe tourer recently. It was one size too small, but that could be compensated for. However, when I picked it up and then brought it home I hadn't noticed the frame had had some front end damage and not worth rectifying. Nevertheless, here are some photos for posterity. Too bad, I would have liked to have used it. BTW, it has those tempermental Weinmann hookless rims on them.

Half-step-plus-granny chainring setup. Very trendy circa 1985!!

Not just bent forks then... some bulging on the down tube as well? Great shame.

There is a thread over at the neighbours you might want to have a look at before throwing out what looks like a nice frame set:

Just another weekend...abusing a 1960's-ish Bianchi

I don't have the bike anymore. A budding young flipper picked it up for parts.
