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

    ximenes.org.ukbike.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.
