BIKEPGH MESSAGE BOARD ARCHIVE

Wow. I always wanted a big wheel bike like shown. Never got to ride one.... yet.

I'm drooling over the head badges!

There is a big wheel bike _COKER WHEELMAN for sale on Pittsburgh craigslist!! (No-I am not seller) It looks kinda cool! YES FOR only $350 YOU TOO can own one!!

check out the Tigress ladies bicycle from 1896. WOW SO COOL

Wow, that place is in Buffalo? I am sick! I didn't know they where there and I have been to Buffalo a ton of times! I always wanted to see old bikes like that in one place. Guess I won't. Man, those are awesome! Thanks for letting people know. Maybe I will own one of them? Better yet, I hope someone opens another museum and buys them all for people to enjoy.

Wow, I actually toured the place! Summer 2006. This is about five miles from where I grew up.

SOMEONE CALL BICYCLE HEAVEN AND HAVE HIM BUY ALL THE STUFF

"Eye Candy From Another Age"

I expected something like more this:

the mona lisa wore clip in sandals? those wacky itailians.

I'm guessing it's not her bike. With that robe, she'd more be on a step-through frame.

Obviously a photoshop job, they didn’t have STI in 1503.

Marko, any idea what century they moved from a quill stem to threadless?

Also, the radial spoke pattern and what appears to be a tapered and possibly integrated headset... perhaps DaVinci had a time machine or a crystal ball? I'm surprised that he clearly prefers box rims over the aero variety...
