Bicycle Model Midcentury Design "Itera" Plastic for Volvo, Sweden
About the Item
In the current period where the bicycle is undergoing major development and provides a sporty displacement
is this very original green rare designed Volvo seventies bike a really collector's item.
In response to the 1974 oil crisis, a small group of Swedish engineers obtained government funding to develop a bicycle completely composed of fiber-reinforced composite plastics (FRP).
By 1980, the Itera Development Center AB was designing, producing, and marketing injection molded plastic bicycles to a seemingly interested market. The first bicycles were delivered in 1982, the problems with quality assurance and design began stacking up against the company.This bike is in a Vintage original condition.
The Itera bicycle at West Somerset museum, is known as a 'great failure of bike design' but has its place in cycling history.
