    Description

    LATE 1980’S PANASONIC PT-3500 TOURING BIKE
    Up for auction is my late 1980’s Panasonic PT-3500 Touring Bike.  I believe it is either 1987 or 1988.
    Very hard to find, especially in like new condition.
    Works perfectly.
    All original flawless componentry.
    Tastefully upgraded in a few areas: new Bontrager blackwall tires and tubes, new iridescent Specialized reflective bar tape which really matches the original anthracite gray paint, with factory painted white/teal/fuschia accents, original white cabling (no cracks) and a new Specialized white saddle.
    Shimano Deore component group.
    I have over 00 into this bike.
    One very small scratch on down tube.
    Not sure how you size these bikes, but it's 24.5 to 25 inches from the center of the cranks to the top of the top tube.
    Always garaged, never wet-ridden.
    Original paint in as new condition.
    Even has the original factory installed rear rack (these came with the touring bikes) AND the original gray elastic cargo strap, all original reflectors.
    Zero rust anywhere.
    These bikes were the high water mark for Japanese cycle quality and precision.  Museum quality. Completely tuned and ready for either riding or hanging on the wall.
    It is a masterpiece.
    Downsizing home and collection.
    Sold as is where is no warranty express or implied.
    Sold to Contiguous (Continental) United States Only.
    I've estimated shipping at 0 but it could be more or less + or - or so.  I think the best way to handle this is I will bring to my local reputable Specialized or Trek bike shop here in Naples, FL and perhaps the winning bidder can pay the shop directly, that's fine too.
