Yes blade style fork. If you look up on facebook markrt milwaukee and search under red bike it should come up wit a few mor pics.How rare are these bike ? i have owned a 12 speed takara in the 70's .....japanese make right ?
I don't have any idea of value. It's just different, everybody's got an INB..
Seriously though it'd make a cool starting point for a project, lots of potential.
I had a new Takara 10 speed in the 80's. I've never seen a cruiser Takara.
I thought this was just a brand name stenciled on a Worksman. I'd have to go over it closely to see if it's real.
I was going at it all backwards, looking for an industrial bike due to the worksman similarities. It's out there as a Takata 26" BMX, late 70s, pretty rare.
There was one or two on the bmxmuseum, but not much info.
This one gets pretty wild, with a Rixe girder, but then breaks down into typical museum battle over if it's really a BMX... Here's the before pics, looks pretty good stock!
