This is a red frame with silver/chrome on the bottom of the front forks.
Serial Number stamped on the bottom of the frame is CS305714 - I'm guessing 1983?
There is a "special" sticker near the front on the top tube - name of the model?
Sticker saying "built with 022 ISHIWATA CrMo Double Butted Tubes
Piaggio sticker in gold
Suntour ARX 6-speed rear rerailleur
Suntour ARX front derailleur
Dia-Compe brakes
Am I right in the year and model of the bike? If so, I haven't been able to find any information online about it. If I'm not right, can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Hello and Welcome to the forums. It seems you an '83 Special in Dark Metallic Red
