Scrappy! That's sweet! I am collecting parts right now to build an 83 Bonsai 24! Mine will be blue and chrome! VERY SWEET!

Sounds really cool! Could mine be a Bonsai as well? Do you know where I might find decals?

I'd bet that it is since I think that was the only model at that time? Others may be able to disprove or confirm! I will look into the decals for you! It will take me a bit but I am pretty sure that I can do it. The decals on mine are still all intact. I did mine in blue and chrome because the decals are blue. I will contact you as soon as I have the info!

it sure looks like a bonzai (and a real nice one too!)...I believe they had a headbadge instead of a head tube sticker....are there holes in the headtube where a badge may have been?

Any chance you would be up for a trade on this one?

Yeah it had the headtube badge. Sorry, but it was sold long ago. It had like an 18.5" TT. Way too small for me.

This bike brings back memories! I raced one in the 80's In Adelaide Mine had Shimano DX 3pce cranks, Kos bars and it was great. I wonder where it is now? Great job on the resto!
