Smithsonian transportation curator is Roger White. I found out here. Worth a try. Why not?


LOL.

Why not give the Smithsonian a try. As I learned from Pawn stars, what's the worst they can say? No?
Personally, the Smithsonian would probably be my last choice. They have so many items that very few are displayed and what they do display is the stuff that appeals to the general public. If it did get displayed, the vast majority would consider it an ugly, cobbled together bicycle. I'd rather see this go to one of the larger private, bicycle museums where it will displayed and be appreciated by people with a serious interest in the history of cycling.
