Now here is an offering that exemplifies just how entertaining eBay can be. A Japanese Sanki Sprint that appears to have been designed while someone was staring at a Crescent catalog:

Note the orange paint and the checkerboard graphics. Seems as though they have missed that quintessential element of Crescent geometry wherein the toeclip overlap is incredible. I like the innovative crimping of the tubes; a precursor of Gilco, perhaps? That is one snazzy bike, no matter if is gaspipe and weighs better than 30 pounds.
