Basic Bike Info

Bicycle Type: 
Folding / Compact Bike
Size: 
Fairly small with a step through frame
Color: 
Light Green
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features: 
The bicycle is in fairly poor condition, with extensive cosmetic rust, and 1 missing pedal. The back luggage rack, fenders, and light have all been removed. It is a distinctive bike, with a clasp in the middle of the frame where the bike folds. The bike has very little cash value, but has a great deal of sentimental value for me. It's an East German model which I brought from Berlin, and though common there, is difficult to find here.
