Desire Vintage: a site devoted to beautiful and archetypal objects of our culture

This classic was known as the "Cadillac of American bicycles". Style and craft merged in this bike suggestive of the flamboyant automobile styles of the era. Note the fenderlight, springer fork, chrome fenders, tank, rack, chainguard, balloon tires, and large saddle--all hallmarks of cruiser bikes.
