  1. I have a couple more pictures of bikes on:

    http://www.ximenes.org.uk/bike.html

    The two additions are from the storeroom of the Dorman Museum,
    Middlesbrough[1]. They don't have space to display these two---hence one
    of them hanging upside down---though they do have some other bikes in
    their social history collection.

    You'll notice that both bikes have adjustable cranks. The pedals are
    precursors of the Crank Brothers Eggbeaters in having more that two
    positions. Finally, the one with a brake employs a leather cabling
    system---needs no special Shimano cable cutters.

    I suspect that that's because altering the crank length is the only
    way of adjusting the bike to fit the rider.
