Old pink Takara

What year and model do you all think this is. The seller says "RED VINTAGE 1974 12-SPEED BIKE" but I'm pretty skeptical of that. (Looks pink to me). Is it a mtb or a hybrid??

Looks like a late 1980s, entry level, city bicycle.

Thanks, that's kinda what I was thinking too. Anything about it worth $40?

If it was local, I would at least give it a look. I thought I saw a Tange decal on the seat tube. It is an 18 speed unless my eyes deceive me. Bad photo, but it looks to be little used or abused. I would offer less.

I think mtb/takara made them. Dont think they made hybrids in that era.

Era + 26" road tyres + riser bars = city bike

As a basic rider for your kids, it's OK. As a flipper, probably not. If you pick it up, I may be able to determine the year and manufacturer from the serial number.
