Look here for some even more retro Rwandan velocipedes:

Methinks Rivendell should contract them to produce bikes for the most
insatiable of grouches.

These look like they were made by the same folks who brought out an ill
fated molded plastic frame in the mid 1970s.
The "plastic casters" didn't have a clue about cycling or bicycles - just
like these wood butchers.
My guess is that these were the result of some kind of class project just
like the molded plastic frame.

Track fork ends *and* a derailer mount on the /left/ side of the bike?
That's one odd frame on the front page.

I really, REALLY want one of these. Obviously, you'd want a Brooks &
cork grips on one.
I wonder how much for a frame?
