Ok 1977 (Dec) alright , now do you think this could be a rare bicycle or reg prduction model , Just have never heard of a Runabout !!
Typically the Run-A-Bout was a small StingRay to compete with the folding bike market in the late 60s.
Here is one that I flipped.
Schwinn still uses the name today for their tag along bike for kids.

I believe that was made by panasonic Not Yours king
I wonder if they used the pixie? I’m practically building an ersatz version of this using a 20 inch frame and 16 inch wheels will turn it into a pedal scraper…Typically the Run-A-Bout was a small StingRay to compete with the folding bike market in the late 60s.

The Pixie frames weren't the cantilever design. Some of the Pixies were 1-tube convertible frames. The later models had twin small top tubes that kinda look like a mixti. A mini-mixti! Some Pixies had semi-pneumatic tires. The Pixies had some pretty low bottom brackets. Okay with a 4.5" crank and training wheels.
Mr Paulo’s I stand corrected. I actually had the “midget” in mind…Not quite sure why the pixie was what I mentioned)…(perhaps it was the 16 inch wheel thing).
I meant Paulos…(have I ever mentioned how autocorrect is such a bane sometimes?)
We had one of those at the shop where I worked. I'd like to have one but when I started looking the prices made the idea seem less attractive...
