hey guys, looks to be made in Hungary. Really didn't find much on these bikes.. the original distributor is now the HD distributor for Vancouver. They now have nothing to do with bikes, and really don't want anyone calling asking for info...

This is a pic of my first 2 wheeler, Xmas '70 in small town Ontario.
I don't know where the folks found it and no clue on how it was badged, but looks likely to be same maker.
This bike made it out to Vancouver too when we moved a couple years later.

So i had offered to my son for part of Christmas to restore this bike (Budget restore) His eyes lite up! and was like "yah.. that would be awesome!"
Only new parts are the tires and grips.. the wheels and seat were from an other 20" bike.
Tires just fit, any tips to get a little more wiggle room in-between the frame??

On the rear, it looks like your dropout slots may be long enough to add 2 links to the chain. That should move the tire back out of the chain stays a little, hopefully into a wider area. That sure is a great looking little bike after your budget restore!
It's a Csepel, Deelite collaboration. Or we can say Canadian export Csepel.
