Got My Japanese 10 Speed Bike

I got another 10 speed yesterday!  A old Japanese 10 speed made by Kabuki.

I got it via eBay:  Here is the eBay post:


The bikewas delivered by UPS today.  It was a bit worse for the delivery, with a tear in the box where one of the axel bolts was sticking out, and a couple of broken spokes.  I was a bit disappointed at its condition, and it had been partly dissassembled for shipping.

I put it on the bike carrier along with the Peugeot and took them to Revolution Bikes.  They were really busy, but I talked to the Old Guy Dan Rock (surfdano1@aoc.com. 760-420-7559).  He looked at it briefly, and his initial comments were discouraging.

I later sent an email to Dan about the Peugeot.  If I, or anyone with a Wilfong driver’s license, shows up during business hours, we can ride the bike as long as it’s returned before closing.

I also emailed my hope for the Kabuki - Reassemble and hopefully get it functioning.  If successful, then tune up, and put the bike rack and pump from the Peugeot on it.

He said three weeks, but I expect longer since they are so busy.
