the Azuki marque was the creation and property of West Coast Cycle & Supply of Los Angeles: a house brand

there was a range of models

if you can make some photos of one it would help readers to assist you

AFAIK there are no Azuki catalogues posted online; perhaps another reader may know of a source...

I had one of those. My first "real" bike I purchased with my own money - $300? in 1977. I immediately put a triple crank and a Brooks Pro saddle on it. We rode from Vancouver, WA to Yellowstone that summer. I broke several spokes, bent the rear axle and sold the bike after ordering a custom Lippy after that trip. I am not aware of any cult following. I shouldn't think they are worth much at all. Donate them to a co-op? The Brooks Pro finally gave up the ghost on Route 66 in 2015. My beloved Lippy was totaled in 2021.

NOS, that could be worth about $125 each, some may say that $125 would be a reach but that what I would put them at on Craigslist in the big city US.

Ive had a couple of Azuki, the one you have is slightly better with the Maxi 2

NOS that old could need new grease.
