555
« on: March 09, 2012, 05:56:32 pm »
Hey guys..gals,
I have just found a 555 in well ridden condition! Interesting bike to say the least! I have not been able to find information on the brand up to K2. Can anyone point me in the right direction for this information. Where were they made and such. I can't wait to tear into this bike! The chain rings are so used up that on the small ring the chain does not even grab the chain!
Thanks,
Bill

I meant to say that the "ring" does not grab the chain!

Thanks for the link. I'm always on bikepedia! What I wanted to know was where they were built. I have seen them on other sites, all over the world! Were they built in the USA, or Japan, or somewhere else?
Thanks,
Bill
