Classic Lightweights

Just stumbled upon this cool site. I think people have mentioned it before, but I finally took a look.

I had the privilege of taking a vintage bicycle ride with Chuck when he visited Fallbrook a number of years ago. He was riding a 1950s Hetchins, if I recall correctly, with a very close-ratio 2x4 half-step. As we headed up the first hill, he commented, "There are no low gears."
