ICM bicycle – 70’s

ICM (Israel Cycling Manufacture) bicycles where one of the few locally produced bicycles in Israel. They where build in Kibbutz Tzora from mid 50’s to mid 70’s. The company began in 1957 as a metal factory. At first, the company produced bicycles and light motorcycles, but in 1974 it began to manufacture office furniture.

I personally really like the Camel symbol and the way it appears on the chainring.

Some interesting article (in hebrew) about a trip to Sinai on this bicycle in 1975 can be found here.
