Yes very interesting. Nearly 125 years new.
Thank goodness for museums and internet.
For the Puget Sound crowd - Maybe it was the show in Anacortes? who may have photo'd the couple that had a side-by-side machine and another very old bike. They were period dressed as well. I dreamily remember extremely large wheels on the sidebyside, and in such good condition and rideable as to wonder if they were replicas.
Could it have been one of the final Velocult C&V ride&show in PDX?
