Not sure but it has to be downtube friction shifting. Mennonites aren't allowed to use indexing or brifters.

You will wish they'd scoop up the horse residue . Some free advice here, keep your mouth closed and bottles in you jersey pockets . Stay off freshly paved roads as well . The narrow steel wheels on the buggies make dreadful snake grooves . Seriously speaking, I've done many Newark, Del. to Harrisburg, Pa. rides .

Felt the need to reassure everyone that this actually is a "G" rated thread.

My Dad came from an Amish family and I have many still-Amish relatives. Whether a given group of them are allowed to use bicycles (or any given technology) is up to the group's council. My relatives in Indiana can use bikes. I've heard the ones around Lancaster County use scooters. Sometimes they can use things they don't own, too.

I thought maybe someone stripped the parts off of a Super Course and put them on an International then I looked at the picture and scratched my head. LOL

Although I live in Cambodia, I lived in Lancaster, Pa for 30 years, On my wedding night we stayed in a hotel in Paradise, Pa and on the way there I drove thru the town of Intercourse, Pa so I could always say that on my wedding night I went to paradise thru intercourse...

In Lancaster County there are so many variations of Amish and Mennonite it is hard to distinguish them.
