This kid was so delightful in everything she was in, and was cast in some great films, like The Women (1939) and The Philadelphia Story (1940). She only lived to age 41.

I have always wondered about this. Did Jerry ride or anything? Or was this just a set designer/somebody's idea of something that was kinda cool (I mean it is kinda cool)?

Found this in an old MTBR thread, for what it's worth:

"Well, Jerry Seinfeld always had that nice Klein mtb hanging in his
'apartment' on TV. I never saw him ride, but the story I heard was that
he put bikes in the set so he could write them off as business expenses.
Since the bikes he put there weren't exactly collector's items, maybe he
liked to ride."

What is certain is that Kramer (Michael Richards) was, in fact, an avid cyclist so maybe he was the motivating force behind the bikes. You'll also recall that in some street scenes they were standing in front of a Specialized bike shop. I still love that show.

Don't know about the bikes, but Jerry is a supreme Porsche enthusiast.

Those two bikes look like they had very different fits. Massive stem on that Cannondale.

Yup!, he actually owns (Or owned. He might have sold it already.) a Porsce 917K. The ultimate of ultimate LeMans grail classic racer.

In the episode where his girlfriend is always hanging around his apartment naked, and she fixes his bike, he says, "that wasn't really necessary. I don't ride it, it's just for show." https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/f5bda95...c-140275ccd409

I though this one was quite amusing



I think it's some sort of muscle / fitness magazine,
and definitely not the Kama Sutra.
