A site about lugs, tan sidewalls, maybe jazz, classical, punk and bluegrass, local riding, worldly riding and people, cool cats, lame ducks, 110 bcds, wool, and smelling like hell after a long ride.

Sorta what I was thinking…only my thought sounded more like, “steam punk”…? isn’t that closely related to “re-enactment”…”retro-fitted fashionistas”?, cheap shots at a “movement” I know…, also…why the attention to detail on the brass lanterns and then use the cheapest crap kids white tires…? aren’t those Kenda 20X1.75’s ala J&B for like $3 each?, at least run some Comp Pools from Tioga or some Avocet skinwalls. I thought period correct stuff for this bike would include a steel wrap around wooden spoked wheels.
???
perhaps I’m just a dick…
about this I mean…
or course I’m a dick.

Excuse me while I geek out—but those pedals are not the right vintage and they are two totally different pedals. They got the laptop right though.
