distinctive lamp bracket

wonder who produced this scrubber

always enjoyable to see images from the golden age in which the cyclist is seen attired in rational dress...

I've referred this post to the mods as some might find it offensive

Hubba hubba, as they used to say about the hubs back then.

I don't think helmets were available back then.

****... scrolled down to post the same and bang... you were faster

Thank you so much for the excellent vigilance! :thumb:

No further postings from me, offensive or otherwise. ;)

The lady in the picture, BTW, is Anna Held:

I certainly hope that you have learned your lesson ! ! That historical filth has no place on a forum where children might see it. Good thing that you repented cos you might have been banned !

The only thing offensive about that image is the fact that the rider's foot is cut off in the composition. This, coming from a former photo editor. Otherwise, I'm only confused about the rocking chair.
Regarding the bicycle itself, I'm wondering if the chainset could help in identification of the marque.

Prototype Cannondale Lefty fork?

Cannondale had the Badboy model, this is possibly an early Badgirl model, showing as she is an outrageously racy amount of leg *swoons*.

The picture is fine. Carry on.

I found another picture of what I think is the same scene which doesn't show the chainset, alas, but does show the chair a bit better:

The parts of the bike that are visible, such as the spoon brake and the fork crown seem to be pretty generic. Perhaps the head tube decal shape is something to go on?

Spandex, or Lycra, was invented in 1958 so such posts are fine and have my approval

(Sometimes a bit of color can help...)

More about her here, sadly not the bike though.

She had her "own" signature cycling clothes line

Maybe I’m missing something, can anyone explain what might be offensive about this picture?

Yeah, the [sarc] [/sarc] tags in that post were only visible when I switched over to my browser's developer settings....:twitchy:

I am deeply offended by the outrageous prices for that Anna Held Cycling suit (with options)!

Really, now?!
$3.75 for bloomers of pongee and India silk!?

How can we live with prices like these...
:50:

I miss the wisdom of juvela .

As do I. Such a kind person and quirky to boot!

Yeah Dawg, so do I. Unfortunate that the forum is like everything else internet; "I can't be seen so there are no consequences for me" mentality. It is so easy to troll or express views that might be mis-understood by some when the intent was perfectly harmless. For me 2025 is going to be the year "under a rock" just to stay safe. I have a lot of friends and customers in my other job as a professional that seem to be overly riled up these days. Only the vetted ones get to be here in the golf shop just to keep issues down for me. Aber schade , MH

Non-drive-side.

Dear Sirs,
I strongly object to the fact that this bicycle appears too large for this woman. I pose the query to you: Why should we have to climb onto chairs just to straddle and operate our machines? Furthermore, blah, blah, etc., etc.

It’s time to close this thread.
