Simplex

[mrg]

going thru some old photos and and came across this, me and my early 50's (?) Simplex, didn't ride much, they were dogs next to my Whizzers!. Guess these arn't bicycles but the first ones had bicycle rims, tires, handle bars & gooseneck. This was July 1984, wow 32 yrs ago, FordMike was just a baby!

Yep, mine's a dog too. But it sure looks cool, and I like how low it sits.

Well Cory it was 32 yrs ago!, lets see a pic of you 32 yrs ago, can you say diapers!, and yes they are gutless but look great, I had 3 and they take up to much room for something I didn't ride so they went down the road.

Here's a Simplex that's not a dog. The bike was at this past October's Delta Whiz-In in Northern California.
This modified Simplex looks like it came from the factory this way and runs as good as it looks.

this is mine a military issue. It had to be faster than a normal one. I hope :0

HA HA Mark! They didn't tell me when I started working out that my new muscles would weigh so much. No, it's the bike. It would even go slow if a puny non-muscular guy like you were riding it. Which by the way, you're welcome to do the next time you're in this neck of the woods.
