Late 1950's Japanese bicycle from Aiden Cycle Co

[Shiono Ringyo]

This is a very rare and unique vintage Japanese cycle from 1950's. This 1950's time frame is indicated by the following: Many parts stamped Shiono Rinayo. Saddle is hanock style, made by Bridge Stone with rear plate. Head badges are cloisonne' style. Lower head tube badge has KANJI characters that read left to right and upper head tube badge has two Kanji characters meaning King and sit. (pronounced OOZA meaning Throne). Down tube and fenders all have cloisonne' style badges. All parts are stamped by the manufactures. The bike is in over all good condition with all original parts. You can see by the photos there is some surface rust on the chrome, some paint chipping and scratches, and the rear fender has a little rust. I have not taken the bike apart since acquiring it. Located on the Western Slope of Colorado.
Price $650.00 plus buyer pays shipping. Shipping details will be worked out with buyer. Local pickup ok. Have many more photos.

Hey, there is this still available? I would be interested; I do have some questions about it though.

• Apart from the tires, is the rest of the bike functional? (Dynamo, Lights, Bearings, Bottom Bracket)
• What size are the tires? ETRTO if possible
• Frame Size/Top Tube height of the Ground (I am fairly tall, so I want to make sure I can fit)
