Incredible!

A superlative specimen to be sure. Just killer.

Yeah,
WOW!
That is outstanding!
So cool to have been left in its original condition for all these years.

It also traveled intact with the original White Flyer tool pouch!!

Eddie Bald's bike from 1896/97 - "Track Racer" model - a completely different bike than the Model 20 that Jesse has but there are some similarities in that they are all white. Jesse's bike is an 1899 model - more raked out and lower crank hanger for instance. I'll post info.

It will admittedly be a mock-up of a Bald White Flyer, not a true racer model by any means.

That said, I won’t scoff at any original White Flyer opportunities.
