this is it! I have been looking on the internet for ages for one of these, of any year, that was stock. these bikes were manufactured by electronics and road racing giant national Panasonic( matsushita electric) and were very popular here in Dominican republic pre 1985. I had a total of 4 of these, in various conditions, from complete to framesets, and they ruled. super light, strong as nails, I have several action shots of me and some friends riding these circa 86-87, but there is very few info on the web on these. I have been storing parts for an 83 version, which was very similar, it also had shimano sx levers, kkt amx pedals in anodized gold and the rims were araya 7x's laced to shimano via hubs. the rest appears to be stock, although the tires I remember them to be IRC z80x's.  most of the 83's that got here were pearl white frames with chrome forks and golden anodized parts like this one! I am stalking a complete 83 that is about 20 minutes from here! hope to get it soon, that is actually the only bike I want right now.

there were at least 20 of those around these parts, I am on the hunt for at least that complete one, and the last frame I had circa 1994, which is not that far around. it is only a matter of time.

still looking for one of these!
