Nice Rover bike! I really love the bikes from the 1900s. They are so weird and transitional. You see all this innovation and experimentation taking place as people are figuring out what works and what doesn't and you can see them heading toward the modern bicycle.

You probably could have saved some money if you had just rented one bike!  ;D

BSA (the British motorcycle company) dabbled in the sprockets during that era as well. Such as this one...

Love reading about your adventure Talesof!

The bicycle built for two above is better than this one!

Here's some updated photos. I added a Coca-cola crate plus some 1915 bottles, and got a replica seat for it. Then I put on all my antique clothes and took a couple of "Miss Gulch" photos for you guys!
