What's the rarest or most obscure bike in your collection?

My wife’s fire engine red fierte.

It’s a 46 cm frame with 650b wheels and chorus 10.

It is almost comical how small a bike this is, like a juniors bike, but it fits her. It’s also in pristine condition because she doesn’t ride much, sadly.

I love this little bike.

There was a doctor from Dallas who bought a custom Serotta from our shop. I could roll the bike between my legs.

1953 Hetchins Vade Mecum. Rides beautifully. One of the first years adaptable to fully modern components, but still those luscious Jack Denny handcut lugs and perfect brazing...

Never seen these. What problem do they solve or are they just design elements for the sake of...?

Definitely unique looking.

Well, if the builder didn't have a long enough down tube, I guess it solves that.

Otherwise... dunno.

Had to go back and find the referenced post.

Yeah, I suppose it might bring the shifters a little bit closer. That's a stretch though.

if by 'unique' you mean 'hideous,' I'll agree...

Well I'll be. Sure as shootin' the same frame that passed through my hands. Would enjoy seeing a photograph of it built up and in action. Thanks for checking back.

Of course not. A Moulton is what happens when you leave a Pedersen in the dryer too long.
