A Very Old Panasonic Track Bike, kind of...

Here's an interesting Panasonic / National catalogue pic from the 1970s. 

Why? Because it's an entry-level 'training track bicycle' AKA cheap fixed gear bike made from probably very crappy components and from very heavy low-end tubing. Just like what so many companies are pushing on the market right now, just go to Ebay and do a search for 'track bike'... Basically a ' track bike' which is really not a track bike at all but sold as such anyway. 

In a way you could say that Panasonic were like 30 years ahead of the game with a bike like that back in the day.
