I live for the CABE
Planning on building a board track racer/ 10s and 20s bicycle racing tribute bike out of a much later frame, and looking for inspiration from original board track racers and 10s and 20s racing bikes. I know it wasn’t all that common to have box/fancy pins on a racing bike, but I want this one to have them just because I think they look sweet. So let’s see what you’ve got for board track racers, early racing bikes, and fancy period correct pinstriping!
 
Here is a circa 1910 Iver Johnson. Not mine, unfortunately. It's in the personal collection of the owner of my old local Schwinn dealership, who is now retired. Really a beautiful bike. The photos don't do it justice. It has a ND Model A coaster brake, which was likely added later. The tires still hold air!

Here is the link to the photo page of the customer who took all of these photos. You can see that this shop was a candy store for bike collectors! I really hated to see him retire and close the shop down.
