Just Scored This Little Folding Bike Today...

[user 13947]

A friend of mine got this @ an auction yesterday, sold it to me for $20. I've been looking for a restoration project so here goes lol. Brand name is Lexus? Really, really rough shape, but will be a fun winter restore. Winters in Pennsylvania are brutal, so this will keep me in my basement for awhile. Anyone know anything about these old girls? It's a single speed, front brakes missing, etc. Thanks...!!

After doing a little bit of research, I realized it's a "Luxus" model, not Lexus as originally thought. From what I can find, made in Holland.

That makes more sense!

Old folders can be fun. That looks like a lot of the old Northern European folders from the 60s. Not as beefy as a Raleigh Twenty, but still fairly well made. Turn that handlebar stem around and make yourself a cool little mini-velo.

I've got two that style. Fun bikes for when you travel.
