| Anybody ever hear of a Bicycle called "Eskei Pride"? |
|
I just bought a used one for $15.00. It has 26 x 1 3/8 wheels, a butted frame and looks like a 27 inch bike of the late 1960s early 1970s. If I ever learn how to post a picture in this forum I would show it, but every time I look into such picture I have to post the picture on a host computer and I just did not want to set up a web site.
Anyway, The Eskei Pride looks good, worth at least the $15 I paid for it. Tires are good, came with fenders (Which are in good condition). Turn-down handlebars (Which need to have grips installed).

It is made in Korea with solid axles around its five speed read hub. No quick release (Solid hubs prevent such use) but the spokes and Hubs are Aluminum not steel. Now in my earlier thread I said it was late 60s early 70s, I have to change that, the gear levels are parallel to the front stem NOT above it. About 1973 the Consumer Protection Agency ordered Bikes to stop putting the levels above the stems, so the bike makers moved them down about two inches to be parallel with the stem. This bike has such a parallel gear levels so must be post-1973 (Which I believe was the year of the change, but I may be off a few years).
