At here, I introduce several bicycles which were made in Japan.
This time, I selected the photos from the magazine "Trip and Cyclist".
The magazine was published by Cycling times co., Ltd in Osaka, and had been sold at the Kansai region (around Osaka).
People used to call it "Tabi-sai" (Tabi means trip in Japanese).
8 photos were shown here (two Bridgestone, two Maruishi, two Tsubame (Araya), one Katakura Silk, and one Tsunoda).
Please note that I used several obsolete words in the explanation.
By the way I checked about a monthly salary of new college graduates of those days.
It was 26,000 yen. Please compare it to the bicycle price.
Then enjoy the 10-speed "drop-handle" bicycles that boys yearned for in those days.
