This Takara was found in North Myrtle Beach just down the street from my folks house. Didn't realize that the top tube was bent. Parted it out and found that it had been originally purchased from Cycle Logic in Raleigh. Not far from where I lived at the time. What are the odds! I sold this and a bunch of parts to Oak City Cycling Project and they donated to the Raleigh Racks competition. So, the short story is that it's a part of a cool bike rack that will be permanently installed in DT Raleigh.
