Frame and forks are Original  finish chrome inc most decals, those decals that are peeling will stay that way, SR Japan seat clamp and crank,Win stem ,Tange bottom bracket and Connect 3 headset,Nagaoka fluted seat post, tech 3s with 890 calipers (1983) Araya 7x suntour large flange hubs,Kashimax super Pro seat , Laser bars, cal lite pad set, sugino chainwheel and bolts, Victor pedals etc etc ..Enjoy the crappy photos ..

Beautiful build  :daumenhoch:, I have one of these frames ( was a cromo burner mk 1 ). After seeing this very tempted to go the Kuwahara route.

I restored that myself, bought via Ebay, the leather was scuffed and scratched but a bit of black boot polish and a special boot polishing buffer borrowed from the key cutting place in town it looks great ..
