I purchased this curious period photo recently at an antique store. It's a steam tractor, powering a thresher, but what caught my eye is the bicycle in the foreground. Despite being a small snapshot, the scan came out amazingly clear. No information re: subjects or location... Okay CABE'ers, what can you discern about the bicycle?

Cool pic! Chainring suggests Pope, 1910'ish.

Wore out three sets of tires already!

That's cool; thanks for posting. It got me thinking about changes in technology. Farm equipment has changed quite a bit, but the bike in the photo could be on the road today with hardly a notice. The diamond frame bicycle is at some sort of sweet spot in the history of technology where it continues to provide valuable service for a number of activities. Keep riding!
