Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe

had one of the early Speedwells come through
unlike later titanium frames they employed tubing of the same dimensions as steel frames
the result was a frame so flexible that it would change gears under load

I believe this bike still belongs to member Mark Mattei. A little more about it on the attached thread.
Photo Requested | General Discussion About Old Bicycles
I think I initially found this photo on this site years ago and thought I had a larger copy of it, but I guess not. Does anyone out there have a larger one?

One more. 1988 Norco RPM. To some, the monocoque bmx was the future of BMX, it was very short lived. Specialized and Haro and I am sure others also made monocoque’s. The RPM’s are probably the rarest. This one was raced at the world championships in 2000. Thanks

Finally riding a big boys bike
Bridgestone have never been afraid of the unusual.
This is mrs non-fixie's Blouson, a city bike designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. I don't think they sold more than a handful.
One of my personal favorites is the GrandTech GR-27. One of the few 700C-wheeled folding bikes, and one that actually feels and rides like a normal bike. A very clever design.

My 1901 Nyack bicycle, several things make it unique. Nyack is a trendy village located on the west shore of the Hudson river about 20 miles north of N.Y.C. It is a popular weekend bicycle destination of the city people, which is not necessarily loved by everyone. Up until a few years ago, no one knew that there was a bicycle manufacturer there. There was only an obscure mention of it in the Wheelman. I only found out when @dfa242 posted a Nyack and Spaulding bicycle catalog for sale here on the cabe. Probably why no one knew about it, was that it was listed as the Nutall manufacturing company after it's founder, John Nutall. He arrived in Nyack around 1897 with his lawyer, got some local juice involved ( a prominent druggist from an old local established family) and started the company. His expertise was nickel plating. I believe that he did a lot for Spaulding including manufacturing their juvenile bicycle line. I got this bike from another good caber from Georgia. All the info that the Nyack library has was generated here on the cabe. The Nyack historian, who is a really knowledgable fellow, had no clue. A few years ago the DPW found a juvenile bicycle in a sewer , in poor condition, and a couple of later models have shown up here, but they look like Columbia's. Colonel Pope, I believe, was known for reintroducing models that he had previously taken over. So, I think that this may be the last survivor, it retains a very good amount of original paint, nickel plating & the American bicycle company sticker.

Refresh my memory. Was the American Bicycle Company a trust formed by Pope and others to try to monopolize bicycle production?
