The Bridgestone/Kabuki Submariner professed to having stainless steel tubing. Might have just been the main tubes, for all I know. More of a Universal Japanese Bike than a "classic", but certainly a unique bike. I seem to recall ads for the Submariner appearing in Bicycling back in the mid to late 70's.
