Rixie kids bike - 16 x 1.75 tire. What year???

[lawrence]

I recently got this for free and did a quick rebuild.
Cool little bike - but I couldn't find any info on it .

Anyone know perhaps what year this was made - approx.

Thanks.

Can't give you a year, but the Rixie brand was produced in Germany and distributed in the US per this CABE thread comments: http://thecabe.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?2997-Rudge-and-Rixie-bike&highlight=rixie

Hope that helps a little!

Thanks. That was all I had found earlier with a search. I am a little surprised that it is hard to find anything out on this bike - Very little on the internet.
Interesting bike with the head badge, cottered crank and such.

That's an amazing find you got there. Know barely anything about little bike but that one is a pretty one.
