Mark....
Thanks, we've been wondering if this lugged hex-tuber was somehow related to the Prince.
KC Bikes for Tykes has a Jupiter Beat Deluxe available for adoption.
Its in great shape. A few scratches but hardly ridden. Pearl white with red, white, and black checker-board patterned panels on the tubing---a bit of an eye-dazzler. Looks like early 70's. Suntour components. The frame as I recall, looked like a 22". The Koda rear-stay kick- stand with its pierced out logo is the most eccentric I've ever seen. The badge is also good looking.
It would make a fine parade bike or just look great hanging up in any bike shop.
100 bucks plus shipping takes it. All of it goes to KC Bikes for Tykes.
If you're in the KC area you can view it at Sarah's Old Town Cyclery in Lenexa, just off the Santa Fe Trail.
