AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

For the past year, this frameset has been at the heart of our documentary project on Japanese cycling heritage.

Panasonic B-OCQ OY001 — the very first ever built by Panasonic Cycling Japan. Early on produced only for professional cyclist and Triathlete like Viatcheslav Ekimov, Sonja Krolik

its mission with the documentary project is completed. Thanks to these exhibitions and to everyone’s support, we’ve been able to connect with collectors, open doors to private collections, and gain access to valuable archives documenting Japan’s bicycle industry. What began with a single frame has grown into something much bigger.
Now it’s time for the next chapter.
I’m grateful to everyone who has followed, supported, and believed in this project.
For the first time, this historic frameset will be available to a collector who appreciates its significance and wishes to become part of its story.

Only the frameset as in the photos is offered.
Saddle and seat post aren’t included.
The last pair of matching wheelset with the original Panasonic decals will only be made available upon request.

Thank you all for being part of this journey.
