As all here know, the Wright Brothers --- of flying fame, the first heavier-than-air controlled flight -- started in the bicycle biz.
Anybody know if any of their bikes survived? I'd figure they were, you know -- light. Here's a site about 'em, with pictures:

"After several years of repairing bicycles, the Wright brothers decided they could build a better bike than they could buy. In 1896, the began to manufacture the top-of-the line Van Cleve and the lower-priced St. Clair, both named for Ohio pioneers. These were not mass-produced machines, but were hand-built to a customer\u2019s specifications. "
