Cool Exercycle
I love the way this thing sits, it has to be the best looking exercycle ever. Would love to have it set up with a vintage racing saddle and track drops.
About four times what I would pay for it though (if that)

That is cool. It would be neat to set that up as a generator when the power goes out.

I love stuff like that! In fact, I have held off on grabbing a vintage bicycle work stand for some time now, simply because I have so many other projects. Not anymore, I am going to get the stand, paint it up (not too worried about the collectable value here) and use the darn thing. As soon as I bring it home, I will take some pictures for this thread.

I would not be suprised if it was meant to power a sewing machine or some other revolutionary household machine. it certainly is a great looking piece

That reminds me of this mounted grindstone I used to have. It needed some welding, so I wasn't able to use it, but it was a very cool item, like the one in this picture:
