.Here is an interesting old pic.

This pic is from the 1920's. A fellow named Leborg ran a bike shop in Alabama. He rode this bike around town advertising his shop. You can see a monkey on the front of the bike that liked to ride with him. Notice how the bike has remote steering. It looks like it probably has a 28" wheel on back and a 26" wheel in front. Thanks!!!

I apologize for the back of the bike being cut off in the pic. I tried doing some media conversion my self and that's what happened!!! I think the pic is better now and you can see most of the rear wheel. I'm still learning this digital thing. It's hard to see in the pic. but the monkey has some hand rails that went along the top of the sign to hold on to. Thanks!!!
