Khs Turbo

[biggs682]

A new arrival today is this nice early 80's KHS Turbo

Complete with an almost complete shimano 600 arabesque groupset and a nice pr of 27 x 1" Araya rimmed wheels that the previous owner has fitted a set of 27 x 1 1/4" tyres to , so it looks a bit over tyred .

Tubing is Tange champion no 2 and the paintwork is in a nice patina condition , not had chance to ride it yet as it only arrived during my lunch hour and it needs a puncture sorting on the front wheel , so hopefully i might get a quick ride tonight if all goes to plan .

I have never come across Tange Champion 2, I'll give it a google and learn something new.

Strangely Shimano never mentioned the name Arabesque afaik but it's what we all call it . Not sure if they used Tricolour either?
