Bikes: 2 many 2 fit here

For reference, here is a link to the 1979 US catalog. That helps put a time frame on the graphics. But none of the models match up, so I think non-fixie may be right.

I don't disagree with what others have said about the market position of this bike or the potential pitfalls, but I'd be attracted to that frame for a utility or commuting bike, due to the relatively long chainstays, which are a boon when using rear panniers, as they help with weight distribution and heel strike. The extra eyelets on the fork are a real plus when desiring to fit a front rack, in addition to fenders.
