new guy needs help identifying old bike....
 

........... front badge says "polarbear"......... seat down tube says " made in western germany"

additional pics at http://profiles.yahoo.com/gretsch5piece go into photo folder and pick the bike folder

Thanks for posting. Over the years, we have seen a some Austrian bikes :) in the U.S., but very few German bikes.

Cool head badge! The "Made in Western Germany" means that this bike pre-dates the 10/03/1990 reunification of East and West Germany. However, due to the use of the cottered crank and the Komet Coaster brake, I think it dates back to the 70's, possibly the 60's....

i'm sure it's in the sixties.............. i need a pedal for it though

wish i could find out the brand name, it would help to track down the pedal ......

i'll post more photos as i restore this old one....................and i'll show my others too
