I scooped this one up today for a good price,
It's a Leader( canadain made ) 3 speed Shimano..
I polished the fenders up a bit as seen in some photo's

I might keep this one....it's kinda cool with the Pinner Red walls..

Peace,.

It would be cool to have something like that stashed in your trunk at all times.

I've always though about welding a CHUNK of metal in the center
and building a Freak Bike where the wheels are parallel..
but not in line..like opening it and welding it open a bit..


it's probably been done before I'm sure..

It rides nice..great little Townie Bike for sure..

What size wheels does that have? I'm always looking for old folding/commuter bikes around here for the 22" wheels. They just fit in the dropouts of 20" muscle bikes, and they also provide a better balance for a 3" or 4" x 20" rear tire, unlike the 24" on the new Stinkray. A Huffy WCC 3" tire on a 20" rim has almost exactly the same OD as a 22" folding bike tire.
