Finally riding a big boys bike
I think the elliptical thing was started or ended by Diamond Back. I had that on my MTB in the 80’s.View attachment 1309632

Look closely at that front chain-ring; it's not round, it's elliptical.
When is Vintage mtb gonna catch on???
Great day/ride/view.
Missing seat for stand up riding or theft deterrent?

Shimano Biopace was prevalent in the 80's. On many bikes, at least 3 chainring bikes.

Some folks steal the seat off a bike, if left alone for any short period of time.
A friend's bike, who is at the beach every day.
Today, Velvet, 1935 Huffman, around the neighborhood for awhile.

That elliptical thing goes way back to the 1890s I believe.
Check out the many historical examples people brought to light whilst I was researching about one that a friend has on one of his bikes:

A friend recently found this, any ideas anyone? This first photo shows it in 'as found' condition..... It's marked 'ELAN', in a typeface that screams French to me..... The adaptor plate allows it to fit on these 'Williams' cranks..... Thanks in advance for any help/info. Darren.

Perfect conditions today for a long fast ride on the 21st Century Hawthorne Flyer. Incredible weather: Dead calm, 66 degrees, 30% humidity., nobody around. 55 mi, 3.5hrs. Out to the coast, south to the Wedge, across the harbor via the ferry, inland up the Newport Back Bay Estuary, then up San Diego Creek toward the Santa Ana mountains to my 30mile-in turnaround in Sand Canyon. Que una dia!

A great day to be out riding Classic bikes.
1934 AIRFLYTE chosen because it's awesome.
Down to the beach, to meet fellow riders, to ride.
@lounging showed up in HB and we rode down to the Wedge in Newport for the view.
Then rode back to HB to meet @cyclingday
Great CAT!
Well now, anybody have a spare, 1st year Huffman crank laying around, just for the day that it finally breaks?
I'm in need of one; but it has to be a good one, that hopefully wont break.
Close to home thankfully; only pushed it about a mile.
Rides here today: '34 AIRFLYTE= 43 miles, '38 Ranger= 30 miles, 2020 JTT Cruiser= 20 miles.
Super-fun times!

You're pretty good Pete; but you should know by now, I stay seated at all times.Marty is rubbing off on you Mark....
Rolling down from the sidewalk on my Green Light, watching the car wanting to make his right turn, (because drivers CAN"T be trusted), it broke in the crosswalk.
I get off my bike and am trying to pick it up, so he steers around me and ran it over.
I'm happy it didn't happen 7 minutes earlier, while riding the River-trail.

I haven't really shown this one off here yet but it's been my rider for most of November and now looks like into December! Thinking maybe a '42 model badged Shelby Traveller. It rides in a surprising sprightly fashion and does not feel heavy, probably because the fork with under-tension truss rods is very stiff. This bike and I have bonded it having carried me safely away from a vicious hot-in-pursuit canine interloper! I switch up bikes every month up until about this time when I need to assemble a new winter poop rider. I did just the minimum to get this back on the road and the NDD D is about to explode so I think it will put away soon. Too bad I have been starting to register thumbs up around town for the all over Smurf Blue hauspaint and purple vinyl cover on the Troxel!
It may very well look quite different in the spring!
