Riding a '37 Dayton Super Streamline
Well I spent a couple of hours sorting this bike to make it road worthy. The bike had been assembled but everything was still loose and it needed some adjustment. Once I finished I took it out for a mile or so and it is a sweet riding bike. I will take it out this weekend for about 10-12 miles just to make sure everything is good. V/r Shawn

I thought it looked deliberate (especially since you took a photo of that particular spot) Neat! I recall seeing them on a number of earlier bikes. I was surprised how many results came up when searching "Curved bicycle cranks".

I didn't try just "curved cranks" but I imagine the results there would have a slightly different effect on my employment (using my work computer).

So here's a pic from oldbike.eu and a link to MORE curved cranks...of the bicycle variety.

I've tried to contact Phil (RMS37) both by email and phone with no luck. If anyone has an idea of about how many of these are known I'd appreciate it. I count about 10 I know of. V/r Shawn
