Beautiful bike, mine was a 5 speed. Perfect balance, three steps pedaling and I took my hands off the handlebars and rode. To me, it was the perfect bike. It got stolen when I shipped it down to Langley Air Force Base in the late 80s. I got a few good years out of that bike and wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874243961560423805.post-34180531905812700752014-07-09T12:45:30.078-07:002014-07-09T12:45:30.078-07:00Zebrakenko is a legendary Japanese bike that is ov...Zebrakenko is a legendary Japanese bike that is overlooked around panasonics and Fuji's. The nicer models will smoke any Japanese bike from the late 70's to mid 80's era. I have a 79 with some upgrades.

Not sure which model it is but it has shifters on the end of the handle bars (barcons) and 4500 Chrome/moly frame. It appears to be 58 frame. At 6 ft I had to streach to ride. If someone in Phoenix area would like to purchase it I would be willing to sell it. knighttemplar1@cox.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874243961560423805.post-74745068486019251542012-10-13T20:56:10.498-07:002012-10-13T20:56:10.498-07:00I just got a Golden Sports Zebrakenko "Thunde...I just got a Golden Sports Zebrakenko "Thunder" given to me, really sweet shape. Probably gonna fix it up and sell it. good alloy cranks, suntour derailleurs but steel rims so I guess it is a medium range bike for them. Looks to be all original with no rust. Nice color blue.
