I've seen this bike before in "The Village". The owner must work nearby. Didn't have a real camera along for the ride on this one so forgive the photography. I've posted a few "in the Wild" type posts. As they say; "when you want to learn about animals don't go to the zoo, go out into the wild". For me, these candid photos of real in-use "volkspedes" are where it's at. Lunchpail, working bikes... and winter ones too. I think this model 610 stated it had splined tubing on a decal on the top tube, or, it could've read triple butted. I'd go for one if it fit.

Note the cheeky saddle arrangement. The packmule in the background looks on impatiently.
