I picked up some classic lugged steel from a Craigslist seller. I promptly took it to OYLC for a tune up, new brake levers, and this sweet orange bar tape. It’s a late 70′s Azuki Japanese bike. More photos to come.

    What size seat post does your Azuki take?

    I have an old Azuki aluminum alloy frame that I use for short 20-30 mile rides. I like it better than the newer bikes that I have tried. I find that the older Azuki bikes are a more comfortable ride than some newer frames. The new frames are lighter, but at the cost of comfort (which matters on longer rides). I can't post pics here, but I have pics of it before and after I repainted it here...

    I'm still liking the tape color and chunky bar-end shifters.
