I found this old photo in Minnesota somewhere...and wanted to share it. What I think is cool about these bikes is that the 29-er looks future-rad with the slack angles, short chain-stays and small ring setup. Can anyone ID these bikes?
Tthe bikes are probably about mid 1890's. The fellow on the right has bent forks, so the bike may have been around a bit before the photo was taken. Bikes of that period all look the same so it's tough to ID them. Cool photo though.
I saw that bent fork! The big guy could have hit something, shortening the wheelbase. It could be of some local racer-dudes or even a family reunion. Its clear they love their bikes. Looks like two of them have foot pegs on the fork legs for coasting...
