Who remembers Osaka Pro frames from Japan ?

[Ian Raleigh]

In the early 80's i always wanted a Osaka Pro frameset these were either in chrome or chrome/gold !

A Japanese cycle racing team used them and i can't find any info to this team or the frames :!:

Anyone remember them or got pictures ?

Cheers.
Ian.

One of the Hirame frame models. There's a thread here which includes my scan of a period advert on page 2.

Thanks for the link ned

Years ago at my local bike shop i had the gold/chrome Osaka Pro frameset on order and i took six month's to
arrive, after it arrived i was so chuffed i ripped the box open and to my horror the frame down-tube had the biggest
crease in it so i took it back and decided not to order another frame so the shop owner passed a very nice Holdsworth
frameset to me, i was happy but sad at the same time and really wanted the Osaka Pro :roll:
