i'm curious about these bikes. were all bikes like this then did someone invent gears ? are they a specialised interest bike? are they just really for pootling around town on the flat ? are they the sort of thing my dad wouldve rode to the pit and back - big leather seat and (i think) caliper brakes) and the old policemans bikes ?
may be just a bloke thing but i'm fascinated and keen to learn about old bikes, all the diferent types and the evolution, mechanics etc. the lightness of my bike amazes me when i remember my last one as a lad in 70's - 80's) any good websites (nowt too dry and academic!)
