This 12 page catalog advertising The Original Plastic Bike was distributed to the bicycle industry in 1973 or 1974. The company had an idea to produce the frame, fork handlebar, hubs, freewheel, chainrings, caliper handbrakes & chain from a patented engineered plastic (resin). According to the catalog, the people involved in the company were; John P. Marzullio, Roger Stark, & William Thompson. I don`t recall if this company ever sold the advertised bikes; I do not recall seeing them in the market. The dimensions are 8 1/2 x 11 inches. This image is the front cover, see the picture gallery.

Page-4, notice the chainring and chain are on the left side of the bike. This is due to the designer of the catalog reversing the negative of the image.
