volkcycle
 

I've run across two of these lately, anyone ever heard of them or know anything. Couldn't find info on Sheldon Brown or Classic Ren.

Here's a thread, and one of the members posted a link to scans of the sales brochure.

Since you misspelled the same way as the eBay ad, I assume you are looking at the same bike I am watching:

If I needed another bike, I would be all over that!

Since it looks very nice, I would probably look at going as high as $150 (plus the shipping makes it... well, more than I should spend when I already have too many bikes).

I suspect that for a couple of reasons I am drawn to the bike.

1) The sales brochure was taken in my favorite cycling area as a kid, at about the same time as I was riding there...

2) It looks nice.

3) It is a bicycle.

BTW - there are a couple of other threads on the volkscycle if you do a search.

Thanks for the help, and yes I am watching, but if you want it I'll back out. I'm not sold on it yet, maybe after I read you info. Have you seen that Carlton in S. CA? If so, whatcha think?

That reminded me that there was one on my local CL.

If you want the Volkscycle, go for it.

Like I said, I would pay $150 IF I needed/wanted another bike. :)

It looks like it is in nice shape.

I haven't seen the Carlton
