A Swedish bike, Crescent. Highly ornate and rather lovely. In original condition, then restored carefully. @Ingola @MattiThundrrr @Imlach @grantoury I think this is right up your street.

Years ago I had a Sekine, quite a nice model all alloy parts. I don't know which one though. I stumbled across this site:

Anymore information, catalogues etc I would like to see them.

Some controversy regarding the program...
"The Centre was the subject of five evaluations and two television programs. They all had diametrically opposed conclusions. On one hand, the program was seen as innovative and successful; on the other hand, it was seen as a failure, and effort to "teach Indians to flush toilets" and an "apple factory" (i.e. an intervention meant to turn Indigenous people into white people )"
