For the two or three people( including myself) who posted questions about Concord bicycles....... I found out from the Kawahara website that they were the manufacturers of Concord, Schwinn, Takara, Puch, as well as many other bikes in the late '70's. Just thought some folks might be interested.

...and the Kawahara(?) website link is...? Thx.

Lets see, Kawamura, Kuwahara, Kanamura, Kawahara?

Anybody ever seen a Kawamura Silk track bike?

And the link is www.kuwaharabicycles.com/kuwahara-history.html

I thought it was Kuwahara. I'm so glad I don't have to remember another k---hara.

Yup Yup. Concords were hi-ten bike boom Kurahara's.

I've got both a Concord "Freedom 12" and a Kurahara "Count" touring bike. The Kurahara-badged bike is infinately nicer with its forged dropouts, neat seat tube cluster and nicly painted (for the time) lugged cromoly tubes.

i got a pacer rs for 10 bux- she needed some tlc and cleaned up nicely- nice headbadge and makes a great ss road bike for the city- boy does she go

Looks like the link is currently:
