I am fascinated with Ignaz Schwinn and am always looking for info about his business's both in the Bicycle and Motorcycle industries.
Oh my goodness! That chap in the second photo you posted riding the Thor bike is my new role model! His outfit is absolutely fabulous, and that pose in transit and resting his right hand on the back seat is just straight-up bad ass.
I am kind of just joking, but I want to get a top hat, long coat, hand knotted bow tie and try to recreate this photo. Its the shiznit.
Thank you so much Truckd, for letting me see this picture.

Dang, I noticed the small "Charlie Chaplin" mustache, but he seemed to be a french dandy.
Well, I guess Charlie Chaplin is my new role model.
