2001 Ares Ashura

Popular Japanese flat bike from early 2000s.

This bike was found on ebay (frame only) in horrible visible condition. A trip to the powder coater took care of that. I had lived in Japan and rode an Ashura very similar to this one back in 2001. I wanted to rebuild that bike so I started to assemble parts. The frame, bars and stem are the same as what I rode, everything else is slightly different. Could not find an Ashura sticker pack, so a DITA pack had to suffice. Definitely not an accurate rebuild, but close enough for me.
