I took a trip to Caldwell (next town over) and they had some very cool old bikes, a few schwinns - a couple of them trikes, a peugeot 26", and a robin hood.

I took a couple pics of the robin hood - had some crazy kind of chain pull hub brake I've never seen before.

Either way - they are some very cool bikes, and I'd love to motor any one of them.

that is the linkage to shift the three speed hub.

I thought about that - but isn't internal hub gears on a bicycle, well, not new tech, but not that old of tech?

they have been around awhile, looks like a 1960-something bicycle. I just worked on a raleigh bicycle that had the same thing.
