Howdy folks! I thought I would present something rather unusual.
Today I stopped into the little bike shop here in Dinuba to get a wheel trued. I spotted this unusual little
Mundo Cycles road bike in the corner, which the owner said was dropped off many months ago for a full overhaul only to have the owner never return! It had been sitting around until he brought it out recently and it's already been sold, waiting to depart with its new owner.
The frame was made in Brazil, and is mostly outfitted with Suntour components that suggest a mid-'70s date of manufacture. The rear derailleur is a GT with phillips and hex bolts, and the front is a Spirt with cursive script. The brakes were Dia Compe center-pulls. The strange skip-tooth sprocket stood out as an unusual feature! Annoyingly, I forgot to take a detail photo of the model name.
A nearly identical bike was for sale in Salt Lake City online last year. The advertisement is here:
