First: Thanks for all the support in my last post. Helped me a lot with my decision.
Picked this beauty up this week and I think I was pretty lucky with this purchase. The previous owner bought this one in 1990. I'm the second person ever to ride it. Serviced once a year and always kept dry in a private basement. All original Kuwahara components but I switched the seat for my brooks. The frame is near mint. Barely any scratches. And I even got all of the original manuals with it.
Not a big fan of the brakes and will probably upgrade to Mini Vs and I think I'll get a front rack but for the moment I'm very happy.

Beauty! That is a heck of a find.
Great find, radical paint job! See if you can dig up some vintage Chiemsee 90s cycling attire to go with it.
