Very early 80s Sequoia, probably made by 3Rensho, TA Specialties crank set, Mafac racers etc for 225.00. It hasn’t been ridden in 15 years. Everything is in amazing condition. 57cm
Score.
Bought a Fizik Arione from him for 5.00 too. Left it on the back of the car. Waiting for them to call back to see if they found it.

For sure. I have a 62cm frame and fork form 84’ that I plan on building up for that purpose. I wish it was from this time period. The construction is so much nicer.

I would fit on that for rando purposes. But I will not buy it. Just saying I’d ride it.
“The first Sequoias were built in 1981, and were touring geometry with chromed Shimano dropouts and normal/long reach caliper brakes. When the Expedition came out, the Sequoia Geometry was updated to sport touring. The early Sequoias were built by 3Rensho, really, I had Tim Neenan confirm this. He designed the first Sequoia and Allez and his name is on the chainstay. Those first Sequoias are hand built beauties, and are very rare. I have seen one in recent years. They have a deeper blue paint color than the later blue Sequoias, and as mentioned, chromed dropouts. No chrome…no 3Rensho. The decals will say Specialized on the downtube and Sequoia on the top tube.”
Dude came in and bought new saddle for his old hybrid cos original saddle was “all worn out”. Installed new saddle, asked if he wanted old saddle. He said no, I looked closer and it’s a bianchi branded Avocet touring with some of the covering worn off. Apply zebra-skin saddle cover, profit.
