A spin-off from the 'Count to 100' thread...FWIW. Nothing much, really. It just...struck me.
But neither bike was a racing bike. They were just 'bikes'. (I only did racing cars because the 1906 pic was racing cars.) Imagine the difference between a 'normal' non racing car of the turn of the century and its equivalent today. Utterly different. Whereas other than the handlebars, those two bikes look all but identical, despite being separated by over a century. I thought it was kind of interesting.But then this would be a more suitable equivalent image for a modern "racing" bike
It's hideous but then so are F1 cars, guess they have to be so ugly to be effective?Fair point, apologies, I got the wrong end of the stick.
Not accepting the fugly comment though, that bike is stunning!!
Genau as they say in Germany (Austria and parts of Switzerland)I quite like it although I can't see any pedals.
