Subject: [CR]funny little bike from the thrift store/ Raleigh questions

Did some googling last night and the funny little bike from the thrift store is probably made by "Favorit," a Czech cycle company, since purchased by another Czech cycle company, Olpren. "Pionyr" is the name of a kid's social group, which makes sense as it is a kids bike.

I'd love to know how old it is, with it's cottered cranks and leather seat.

Oh - I kinda liked this on Ebay and bought it:

http://ebay.com/<blah>

Its obviously more than advertised. Only problem is that in checking the feedback for the seller, it appears that something has gone funny recently for that seller. I'm a little concerned about sending my check out to this person. Arrgghh!

Its a nifty bike though and at this rate, considering my current projects, I won't even be able to think about putting this together until Cirque '04. Still, what kind of goodies were standard equipment here?
