--- Quote from: bodamus on October 17, 2006, 03:25 AM ---I am pretty sure they came out in late 1981 and were only available in Chrome finishes. Down my way they were pretty common I remember at least 5 people who had them. Around about the £90-£110 for a complete bike I think?

Personally I like them. That is a nice find ;)

--- End quote ---

I had a candy red Pro Star back in 1981, they came in Red, Blue or Chrome finish. Mine was Red, Gold 'Arayas', gold bars, brakeset, yellow tyres and seat.

I think it got skipped or something, I have some pics at my mum's somewhere, I will try to dig these out and post them. Looking back it was a really nice frameset, I wish i'd kept it :(

bodamus:
OK I stand corrected I assumed they only came in Chrome :-[ Would be nice to see a coloured framed one.

Where did they all go ???

From bodamus ;)

burnaliser:
Does it have the baseball on the serial number?

If it does and you agree that the baseball symbol is Koizumi's logo, then it's made by Koizumi.

Waxintaxin:
The baseball symbol is a quality mark common in Japan its like a circle with zig zag in the middle , I thought it was a Tange mark , but reserched it and it is a quality symbol as a bike made by Tange had the baseball symbol as well?

but as I dont read japanese i found it hard to ever really find out more
