i have this bike here in California..it’s in ok condition but needs restoration..i was wondering how much would this bike cost now if i were to sell it?
Hi Bryan, if you have some photos email a few to me at editor AT panasonicbikemuseum.info and I can try to give you a bit of an appraisal on the bike based on the condition and originality. Also, what part of CA are you in and are you willing and/or able to ship the bike?
