OK - that's all well understood. And it leads me to this...
Do any of you recall the "Alex Singer" child's bicycle that was sold on eBay a couple of years ago? Perhaps one of you saved the photos. That was the little bike with 12 inch wheels and white tires; and its construction style was reminiscent of this lady's bicycle.
Was that child's bicycle actually built at Singer's shop, or was it actually built elsewhere and merely painted by at Singer's?
