And I saw this at a swap meet in 2021.
Looks to be a Speedster or Racer single speed with an Exerciser sprocket.

Look ready for Major Taylor to take on the world.
How hard was it to scale that sign and tag it with RRB?
If you look at racer photos from 1900ish, you rarely see any seat post showing. Styles have changed. That was exactly my intent for this other build some years ago. This one was for a friend who was about 6'10". I can't even reach the pedals when seated. It's based on a 28" Schwinn Continental.

Hah. Anybody can walk right up to it. They already have a wimpy no trespassing sign on the new flood control levee off camera to the right. The construction isn't even finished yet but I'm sure they will add some barb wire to keep the drunks from falling off it. The city is infected with e-scooters so I expect someone will try to ride across. Splat. I found it easier to letter with a photo editor.
