Now that I found this site I thought maybe someone can tell me someting about an old bike I bought years ago.
I bought this bike about 20 years ago at a church sale for $15. It came with an Apollo 13 bell ringer on it so I figure it is a least a 1970 model. My daughter used it as a child and now her son will soon be using it. As the photos show it is a folding bike with seat and stem extensions long enough to accomadate an adult. It was made in Italy and the closures are in Italian, and the hex heads and bolts are metric. The seat is leather and has the name "Dal" on the back. I've searched the internet but can't find any information on it...anyone here ever see one like it? It's a very cool bike in great condition and still rides well. The company that imported it is Instamatic Corp. out of Elkhart IN and they marketed it as "Deluxe Insta-Bike".
Took it down from the garage after not using it for many years , cleaned it up and thinking about using it on the Saturday morning breakfast ride with our club just to be different! Thanks!
