Old single spped-pic
Here Is a pic of my dad riding a old single speed bicycle many years ago
note the two top tubes...I have never seen a bicycle like that at any garage sales
has anyone else see a bicycle like this?

I sure liked the Morley catalog,I showed my dad the pics and catalog
and showed him It's one out of about three bikes like that ...that Morley manufactured
they all look similar hard to know exactly which one It was?

It'd be difficult to know the make from such a photo. That was a very common design prior to about 1930. More old catalogs can be found here:
