look at the forks!  Look at the swept back comfort bars.  This is the Thorn Nomads grandpapa, I'm sure of it!

I get a kick out of seeing photos like this one.  So much to wonder about.  The clothes ... much or a regression nowadays imho.  I wonder where I could get outfitted like that now?  :)

Google "Tweed Run" for other folks who wish to recapture those bygone days -- and do! There may be a Tweed Run near you.

Wonderful photo, Pavel, and great hearing from you again.

All the best,

Dan.

Excellent photo, and from my own country of New Zealand.
The photo was taken in the town of Wanganui, which made it interesting for a work mate this morning who originates from there.
I was there myself in March this year, with the grandson of those biycles:
