bike evolution

G'dday all,

sometime ago a member from here posted a post about bike evolution and i am just continuing on the same aspect. last year i was in japan and was lucky to visit a bicycle museum. I was surprised to see a bike from 1850s there, apprently this one was one of the first bicycles to pop out of europe. Here is an attached pic of it, now compare this to a bike such as the colnago cf 3.

Things certainly have changed.

enjoy

Nice shot, my gran used to use something similar to do her washing
