Hi everyone,

I hope people are still checking this thread, finding information on Apollo road bikes online has proved to be quite the task!
I was recently given an old Apollo road bike, and was hoping to find a little bit more info about it from some road biking experts please and thanks.

It's an MK II, and from what I was able to research online and then locate the serial number, it seems like it's a '77 model. Most pages that exist seem to only talk about the entry sport 10 or 12's, the Mark III, and then the higher end models out there.

So where does the MK II fit in? It has the chromed front fork, but those old school Sun Tour shifters. I've noticed that the trend has been that most owners are on the west coast, and from researching the Apollo history, it's from Japan, imported by one man exclusively via BC (that had rights to Harley's too? Neat.), but I'm located on the East coast, and this was as I'm told, acquired in the Toronto area when it was first purchased all those years ago. A decal on the frame, seems to verify that. It doesn't bear the 'Deeley' badge, but instead has the Apollo one proudly on the front, with the nice Kuwahara text emblazoned near the handlebars/fork thing as well.

The BEST image of mine that I've found out there is this one: $275 || Apollo MK II | Bicycle-Itis | Your Shop for Used Bikes in Victoria BC The one I have looks identical down to colour, the only difference is that I don't have the accessory over my rear wheel that the one in the image does.

Hoping someone out there can shed a little more light on this!
Thanks in advance,

- JB
