Details
You could be the proud owner of this vintage Shimura Seiki Co. Road Puppy folding bicycle. Unfortunately very little seems to be known about the Shimura Seiki Co. these days, however we've been able to decipher that this was a civilian version of the WWII Japanese paratrooper military bike. A very rare and unique folding bicycle, it sports dual 14" wheels, folding at the both the center of the main tube and at the handlebars (very cool design). This model is a single speed, freewheel bike with a coaster brake to provide the stopping power (coaster brake is still functional), it also has solid tires (rear is brand new, we are including the broken original rear tire as well). Although this bike is a touch on the heavy side it would make a great addition to any folding bike collection.
This bicycle has not been tuned by our shops mechanics so we would advise a full tune up before using as a regular rider.
This bike is being sold as-is, please see photographs for details.
