A bit of Bean & Son Co west coast bike history

[gkeep]

I stumbled on this bit of San Francisco/West Coast bike history. I know a few folks have posted Bean & Sons bikes in the past year or two. Interesting that the current distributor of SOMA bikes is the current incarnation of a bike distributer here dating back to 1906.

Thanks Marty! I have them in the second volume and welcome any information about them. So far I've found three different badges they used. Barry
