If it's what I think it is, a Black Sheep Bikes Horizontally Adjustable Chainstay System (HACS), it's how the chain tension is adjusted.

queerpunk, your ****'s sexy!

Man! I can't wait to go to framebuilding school. That is awesome queerpunk.

I am in NYC; that's not my work. I don't have the mustache power to build that... but I might have enough to ride it.

1985 Bridgestone Blouson
This Bicycle was designed by the Italian firm of Giuguaro who has architecture, automobiles, watches, appliances and even tires to it's credit. The bikes weren't very well received here in the US and only about 100 or less were imported to this country. Check out the strange headtube/stem arrangement. Aside from the design, it's a basic single speed bike with roller brakes.

1896 Imperial
This model 86 bicycle was built in Chicago by the Ames & Frost company. At that time , Chicago was a hot bed for bicycle manufacturers. Over 300 companies produced approximately three million bicycles in the U.S in 1896. These bikes were originally called safety bikes because the chain drive with sprockets facilitated both wheels being about the same size, so no more fear of going over the handlebars. Pneumatic tires also added the much needed cushion for the roads of those days. This bike has wooden rims and direct drive

1903 Tribune
This bicycle has quite a few unique details. First off, the color is quite unusual for its day. It also has a two speed rear hub with a coaster brake. Instead of the normal chain, this bike has a shaft driven rear wheel. The drive shaft runs through the right side chain stay. Also notice the front fork has a small shock absorber on each fork blade. Major Taylor, one of the biggest sports figures of the times, raced a Tribune shaft drive for awhile.
