Bridgestone with Cyclone Badge
I found this Bridgestone Cyclone at the flea market for $25 and thought why not, it's got pretty paint. Don't know much about it just yet, but here are some pics and the serial number. Any thoughts are appreciated, was planning on rehabilitating it. Cheers!

Still learning
Looks to be early 1970s. What's not to like; dt shifters, no turkey levers, great color, cool decals. Spiff it up and enjoy!

Though I am no expert, by any means, I have run across a few Bridgestone based bicycles, including this old early seventies Japanese Skyway...
For the most part, the ones I have found were entry level utilitarian steeds, but kinda neat, none the less. My guess is that the OP's find is one of these, entry level, offerings aimed at meeting the sudden demand defined by the Bike Boom days in North America.

Hey thanks guys for the responses! Just got this baby rolling and it fits great! Getting a lot of compliments on the color, and starting to think that I will lean towards good pant for cheap restore and ride projects. I put this old light from a Ted Williams free spirit that is decommissioned atm, trying to figure out how to wire an led in it... Thanks again folks!
