Is that Henry VIII's head on Queen Victoria's body?[/quote]
Perhaps, but, unfortunately, there wasn’t any text attached to the photograph.

The Men's Bicycle Club Ann Arbor, Michigan (1887)

Prominent Ann Arbor residents shared in America's first bicycle craze over a century ago. Junius Beal, publisher and editor of the Ann Arbor Courier and later a University Of Michigan regent, poses with the Men's Bicycle Club on the west courthouse steps, 1887.

Re: 1961

That is the coolest picture ever! I'm not a big fan of tall bikes but it's still really cool to see one from that long ago.

Tall bike reminded me of this photo we have on the Coasters site which was submitted by a local guy who worked at a local bike shop. He holding the bike with his Mother atop it. From late 50s or early 60s.

That trailer right behind those guys is sweet.

This had to be built by a Rat Rodder.... not sure how old the photo is, but this could be THE founding father of Rat Rodding bicycles.
