SHAULA Vintage Bike
Hi Guys,
Came across this vintage lugged Japanese bike. Groupset seems to be Suntour Sprint and in relatively good condition. Has anyone every heard of the brand Shaul A? Would you have any specs on it? What would something like this be worth?

Looks like a nice mid-level Japanese bike. Fix a couple things for presentation, like the bars and the slammed seatpost, and you could get at least $300 in a big market.

What do you guys think this bike is likely made out of? Cant seem to find any specs on it.

The tubing is really the wildcard here. Only worth $300 if the tubing is something pretty nice.

I looked up the definition of the word Shaula, and found this. The fact there's a star in the bike's name probably supports the idea that the bike was named after a star.
"Shaula, also known as Lambda Scorpii, is the second-brightest star in the southern constellation Scorpius (which is visible in much of the Northern Hemisphere). Like many of the bright stars close to Earth, Shaula is actually more than one star."
