Need INFO on Vintage Folding Bike
We just acquired two folding, 3-speed bikes that appear to be from the seventies. I cannot find any information about them online. I am hoping someone here can help. They say Atlantic on the bar and front badge. This is the only identifying information we can find. Here is a link to few pictures https://imgur.com/a/l1m3q
Thanks for the help.

looks italian or former Jugoslawia made .... there were millions built in the seventies..
usually heavy and low end stuff. ride like hell compared to new folding bikes...
BUT
always fun to restore something old and make it yours
Just dont get the idea if you clean it it will be worth a thousand bucks ...

Early 80's. Hard to tell where from. Basic folder, what type of rear hub? Shimano 333?
Clean it up and ride it.
