High class!! Love it!!

It's still too clean Mike, still looks great.

Ha, just for that I am going to have to take it off road and get it dusty just for you Tom. Any comment on the mean celery green cloth tape?

Cloth tape always looks right on a Toei. I used the same color w/ light bug juice on one of my bikes sometime back, talk about instant beausage.

Very nice looking bike!

[Wilkinson4]

Thought I would try something different.

This is what all my rando bikes aspire to be!

Are those Nitto R Cages? So pretty...

I have the same water bottle and handlebar bag

[Wilkinson4]

Thanks, Nitto Racing cages. Bottle by way of Ron L. out in San Fran. Thanks Ron!

Simplex retrofriction?

[Wilkinson4]

Yes sir on on the Simplex Retrofriction. Sachs New Success ders... Basically, the build is the same as when i bought it from Tom. Works great.

I keep coming back to this bike. I guess that means I need a 650b with fenders, built by a master. Something else to covet...
Enjoy that ride!

Oh my, that's drop dead gorgeous!

I stumbled on this thread. Don't ask me how. When I picked myself up off the floor, I lost my breath again when this Toei came into focus.

I thought some of you would enjoy seeing this machine, maybe for the first time.

It is eye-sweet.

[JSC]

Beautiful.

I've been dreaming of building a bike like this... finding a frame is easier said than done!

Congrats and enjoy!

Very nice thread to bring back from the past. I love seeing this for the first time. A gorgeous bicycle, indeed!
