WOW! I want one!!
It resembles the once ubiquitous orange Japanese post office bikes that are now out of service (
AFAIK). I met an owner at a convenience store the other day who was riding a very nice example — leather saddle and all. He said he had found it in a second hand shop. Lucky dude. I'm going to start looking. Japan Post must have auctioned them off.
Your bike looks gorgeous. I ride my vintage racers (including a Gazelle) but I really crave this type of bike for my townie rides. BTW — the post office bikes were/are single speed.
