Questions on a 1910 race bike
Hi,
I came across this photograph recently and am curious as to whether anyone may know anything about it's history. I've assumed that zero-offset forks would have disappeared by 1910, and cannot imagine what one may have been used for. I don't have any information but the photograph. Thanks in advance.

Probably first know vintage example of a nice road bike getting DREWED by a proto-hipster/fixie rider in order to emphesize fashion over function!

No one cares
is this your site or just where you found it?

I'm no expert by any means but i don't see any reason to believe the fork isnt original.

Old trends tend to linger, drillium is still pretty cool, right?
