OLD bike pics

[Pete]

Found this while tooling around. A LOT of old bike pics from pre-1920

Of course all the old stuff like boneshakers, a pic of the Wright Bros shop in Dayton, old LAW
covers from 1890, old Sears catalogs.

But also, some stuff that is selling *now* but the concept is ancient.

Check out this seat http://nostalgic.net/arc/pre1920/hygenic%20saddle.jpg Look familiar?

Or this shaft drive from 1902

Some very cool posters in there as well. Check out the 2002 Worksman INB
