... where's the love on this one !! the grant fellow in san fran had one of these on ebay years ago ... a herse. i think jan had some pics in an issue "back in the day" of some porters doing a bicycle race on these with newspapers. i think bilenkey is making a "modern" version ,,,

... saw a 1967 dean martin film tonight ,,, and at the very beginning they did a super crane shot/scene of a period porter bicycle navigating through downtown town new york city ... through traffic. big wheel on back ... little wheel on the front ... with a large rack.

... those riders wore a uniform and a hat back then ... otherwise what's new is old again.
