Thanks for the extra pics @andy k.

Its looks like it might be time to start rounding up a list of reasons to visit Pittsburgh. I've got one good one, so far. Now, need to find a few interests for the SO.

I don't know the story about the two bikes in the museum, but the story about the kid going away to war is told about a different bike: Bicycle Tree : snopes.com

I love it. Burlington, Vermont has a similar (although much smaller) kind of place called "The Old Spokes Home." It displays many old and rare bikes, but it's a place to buy sell used bikes (and new bikes) or get your bike serviced.

Visited a few years ago. The place is amazing - rooms after rooms after rooms ... Although not a bike, they also had a few go-cart type vehicles powered by MayTag washer engines (gasoline)
