Next is a Grail Bike, though I've seen posts for Grail Bikes in this forum I never thought such a thing would come my way, especially for a $25.00 frame and fork, bit more has been spent since in the restoration of the "H. Hagiwara" - Erba:



As you will see from the prior posts on this bike I have had a bit of a problem in naming this bike, is it "erba" or "Erba"? And who is/was "H. Hagiwara"? I recommend the following posts for the pictures of the found condition, philosophy behind the restoration, back ground research and continuing mystery surrounding this bike, which from all I have found to-date is a one of. Restoration is on-going, I have sourced four final components, one you see in the picture above and will in the next week or so post a completion posting with the reasons behind the changes.
Additional posts:
1. Restoration: H. Hagiwara "Erba" getting ready for the paint/decals
2. "H. Hagiwara" Erba-back from paint shop
3. H. Hagiwara-"erba", the restoration is done
