Export quality?
Sometimes unintentionally "funny" details can be found. Or maybe I'm just wasting too much time on these...
Finnish travel bike from the early 80s: Helkama Kulkurikymppi (Helkama Vagabond 10; 10speed bike). In finnish it says Suomalaista vientilaatua (=finnish export quality). Why did they drop that finnish part off from the translation.
Like lost in translation: Export quality, does this mean that the bike is no good or the bike is actually better than the average domestic ones?
Little trivia: These Helkama's are one of the heaviest bikes there were, made of (heavy duty) steel.
