Yesterday a customer brought me a present. I guess he knows I take in unloved road bikes and treasure them.
Its a funny little thing, looks like 24" aluminum wheels, lugged gaspipe, original leather seat logo'ed "Pionyr," as is the name on the downtube. The headbadge is a sticker, "Rapido" and the seat tube says: "V(missing letter)lamos." It has a cute (ok, I said "cute" relative to a bicycle, so sue me) little derailleur and 3 speed freewheel. Cottered cranks, side pull brakes.
I put some pictures up here. Won't take much to clean up and make functional. What do you guys know? And how can I integrate it with my living room decor? We already have a 5 bike limit in the living room!
