It has been a long time since we’ve done one of these On The Market posts. Part of that was due to being overly busy in day-to-day life and the other part with there being a lack of interesting bikes for sale online. I’ve seen lots of lower end Sport models for sale but fewer of the higher end models. I’ve certainly seen my share of way overpriced lower end models as well. I always love the ads that claim that the Sport 500 they have for sale cost over $600 when new. I always want to ask if it came as a package deal when they bought their new Panasonic TV back in the eighties. 😉
Anyhow, without further delay here are a few of the interesting Panasonics I have spotted.

This “hard to find Panasonic Track Bike” in Phoenix, AZ is nothing more than a fairly common (outside of the U.S.) CB4000. CB stands for City Bike thus the relaxed geometry.
