This very unique bike lock was made in Japan and is about 30 years old. It is in fantastic condition works perfectly!
This lock is fully mechanical operates by using a special "punch-card" key. In the 1980's this thing must have looked very cool and futuristic!
Very happy get my hands on one of these!
