Our take
For those passionate about vintage bikes, this 1973 Bridgestone Kabuki Submariner frame set is a fascinating find. The stainless steel material is a highlight, promising durability and a distinctive look that sets it apart from more common steel frames. At 48cm, it's an extra-small frame, which is important to note for rider fit, and it's designed for 700C wheels, a modern standard. The inclusion of the fork and headset means you have a solid foundation for a restoration project. Keep in mind it's a 25 lb set, which isn't ultra-light by today's standards, but reflects its vintage construction.
