Your opinion on this Saint Tropez Sport/Road Bicycle
Hey there.
I've been in the market for a new vintage road bike. I prefer Japanese frames from that era as they tend to be pretty lightweight. Lotus, Fuji, Miyata etc.
That said I've had a hard time finding what I'm looking for in my size as I'm 6'4".
Anyway I just came across an interesting option and the bike is located just a 20 min walk from me. That said I don't know anything about Saint Tropez bikes and was wondering if y'all had any opinions. It seems a bit pricey.
Cheers.

pic assist -
the cycle exhibits both frame and fork deformation from an impact.
even without the damage it is overpriced; keep looking.
