Gorgeous old bikes!


Thumbnail of image from bicycle gallery on pbase.com

OK, OK. I know I'm a little nutty about old bikes. Today I found another site with some truly lovely old machines like this one, a 1907 Racycle with an enormous front chain ring. I'm intrigued by the bicycle bell with an embossed turtle on top.

There are a wealth of photos here. Enjoy!'

  2. Try the link, Steve. If that doesn't work, paste this into your browser:
    http://www.pbase.com/kayakbiker/old_bicycles

    Some browsers can act oddly, but I've never heard of problems with MSIE or Firefox on Blogger.

    Please let me know if it works.

  3. The link didn't really work right on IE 8, but the http worked great. I loved the turtle, and the 1996 Trek gives me confidence that art is not yet dead.

    Thanks. Some things are better than snark.

  4. I looked at this post using Safari and Google Chrome. The photo was blank, so I copied one from the original site and reduced it to a thumbnail. It's a good example of the images on the site, but obviously it's not as detailed as the originals.

    Maybe Blogspot made some changes. I don't know, but I'll have to go look.
