I picked up one of these bike from a friend in the Army. His father was a diplomat, and they had lived in the Phillipines where they picked up the bike.
It was a one speed, and I got to ride it a bit before the the tires gave out, and the headset kept coming loose. Found the threads all pulled off of the steerer tube. Interesting ride while it lasted.
