You're right. I could look at the old pages of this thread and oggle for hours. Bike porn indeed!

I like the rod-brake bikes with 28" wheels, but I never really liked them better than the caliper brake bikes with 26" wheels. Is there something I'm missing about the older design? By the way, I've heard them called Bobby Bikes, for the officers that would ride them.
