Candy-red Japanese steel, and the best value in the collection. This late-1970s Matsuri FUNdamental is a lugged-frame mixte road bike built in Japan during the era when Japanese framebuilding set the standard for the whole industry. The metallic candy red paint still throws real shine, the chrome is bright, and the 10-speed drivetrain shifts smoothly through the range. Step-through comfort, retro looks, and a genuinely good ride — at the most accessible price point we stock.
