Ever heard of Itera?
Check out this Itera. It’s plastic.
It’s not from IKEA. It’s Itera!
Hey, those aren’t Spinergys…
Kinda looks like old Sears & Robuck colors.
At least it has reflectors. Working lights, too.

They were made by Volvo in the early 1980s. They never sold many, so the unsold bikes were shipped to the Caribbean, where steel bikes would rust very quickly. The drop bar ones are kind of rare as most of them had upright bars and 3 speed hubs.
