Olympic folding bicycle

[GarryG]

Hi all,

I have acquired this Olympic branded folding bicycle today, can't find a thing about it on Google.

But it does have gb sport brakes, if that means anything to anyone.

That shape frame rings a bell .

Well...I wouldn't go expecting to win any races on it, but I'm sure it'll be a nice enough ride.
I think Night Train (formerly of this parish) had one like that, before he did it up and made it a 6 speed.
You need to get those tyres matching though. It's just wrong, the way it is.

Those olympic stickers look newer than the bike. I'm sure I've seen one like that before.
Possibly here... http://www.bikeforums.net/folding-bikes/719071-beater-bianchi.html
It looks similar. Got to be worth fitting a pair of tyres and some cables

I've got a box of raleigh twenty parts, so might use the quick release seat post bolt on this, not sure if I could do the same with the handlebar one, will look tomorrow.
