Cruisin' on my Bluebird
So there is writing on the back of the picture. The gentleman's name is Mr. J. H. Imhoff. Is it just me or is my mind that dirty?

Your mind is deep and mysterious Kenny. Let us put our focus back on the bicycle Mr Bent-woody.

In 1897 the was an amateur boxer named Jack Imhoff. 125 pound class. He was disqualified from a match in New York City for slugging.
Can you make out the other writing on the back of the photo?

As I mentioned in Post #2 ... the name "Imhoff" on the seat tube was not the name of the bike!
The bike though for all who want to know is a "Thomas". (I have one in my collection)

Here's my 1899 Thomas Model 29 awaiting restoration.
These bikes have a very unique rear dropout unlike any other. It can barely be seen in the original poster photo

Here is the only "Thomas" I know of that is on display in a museum. They sent me quite a few photos of this bike several years ago.
If I remember correctly when I spoke to them they said it was a Model #27.
I also have a Model #20 in my collection besides the #29 Racer. The Thomas bike is a rare machine!
NOTE: - the rear dropouts ( which they refer to as "Chain Adjustment and Rear Fork Jaws" ) is a beautiful design!
Anybody else here own a Thomas?
