I went to a garage sale this morning that had listed bikes. They started wheeling them out and this was the last one they brought out. The lady said it was her son's bike that had been in there basement for over 10 years. The gumwalls have some cracking, but that is about it. This is the second Takara I have found in two weeks. I will probably keep this one.

Looks like it has hardly ever been ridden.....Look at the side walls on the rims, Not even a mark on them. Awesome score!!!!

Yeah they are pretty cool bikes with a butt-load of great parts on it. I found a blue on blue one a couple years ago that was just like yours.

Does anyone know what year this bike is?

My buddy down the street growing up had one so I've always had a soft spot for them. That is one nice what looks to be original bike score you found there !

Looks like they saved the best for last. Very clean.

it is nice everytime i see one there pretty much trashed, but that one is very clean. nice find.
