Cheap Kid's Bike
VERY cheap kid's bike probably from the late 70's to early 80's. These kind of bikes were sold by department stores and other non bike shop outlets. I'd inspect it VERY carefully before letting a young person ride it.
One of the reason's that I'm so critical about these kinds of bikes is they're electrowelded by pressing the thin tubes together and applying current to get them to fuse at the joints - sort of like spot welding. There's no fillet build up around the joints to give any kind of reinforcement. They're VERY prone to failure at the head tube from riding off of curbs and so on...
It was bikes like these that the USCPSC - U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission was originally supposed to protect children from getting injured on while riding them....
