Might be going old school
I have been looking for Cosmo 110 or R100 for a while. A friend in mainland japan found 1971 M10A Famila that has been sitting for a while. Is this a R100 or RX2 ?

they send me a few pics

DAMN! I'd take that 10A if I wasn't broke. I have a feeling the engine in my R100 isn't going to be iv very good shape when I pull it apart. Having a spare would be nice.
