Help with info. on a silk road bike

[oddrodal]

I pretty Shure with the wealth of knowledge on this forum that some might know a little about this bike. I haven't found much on the web.

Think it's a mid 70's ? not there hi end bike but kind of wondering what it might be worth since I don't rid this type of bike I'm most likely going to flip it.

Those spinoff nuts on the axle are very cool. That bike looks brand new.

This bike came from 1970's 10 speed bike boom. Looks like it was made in Japan and may of been a midrange bike in the Katkura lineup.

CMAN... Thanks for the links, It's in very nice condition for is age. has a few scratches & some of the silk screen shows wear but overall it's a nice riding bike. Might just make a wall hanger out of it.

The first link they were referring to a 6 spd. cassette being 1980 model so maybe a 10 spd. is earlier. I was told by the guy I got it from it's a 1975 but who knows!! tried looking the serial # up on line but no luck.
