If you like the curved down tube bikes, here's another one …( I believe this is Didier )
He rode one with a curved seat tube too )

great pic!

on this bike i couldnt quite understand why the tube was bent since its so far away from the fork but maybe he flipped the forks or used different forks at one time?

Robl is one of my favorites. How about my Robl bike as a tribute to him! About 1900 - 1902 ...
Robl rode a Brennabor, an Afficke and a Corona. I believe there is one other that I can't remember off the top of my head.

Wow, great tribute bike! What did you use for the bar tape? Is that a repop chainwheel?

I don't know much about Robl yet but he is mentioned and pictured in the Walthour book. This book is a wealth of knowledge and photos, most of which I will be posting in this thread (the photos)...
