I was wondering if anyone has any interest in some vintage Chinese lugged bicycles from the 30s, 40s and 50s. Apparently not many ever made it to the states and I have not read about anyone collecting them, but maybe that's because there are not any over here to speak of. Anyways, I have a friend with a couple of them and would like to know if anyone wants to discuss them. Maybe email me off list if you prefer. Some of the designs are rather unique, I think, such as the brake pads rubbing under the rim and pulling up, rather than the sides as on most other bikes. I have some pics as well of this novelty.
