Byron-
Spotted this quirky bike in a for sale listing. Something you might be interested in or know anything of it? 1960's???

The 'timeless' classic! George Daniels, Confente bike.

Investment grade. Curious what the final bid will be. Right now the same as higher end new CF bike.

Mario Confente bicycle number 58

Lots of heavy springs at the worst possible place on a wheel, plus a whole 'nother steel hoop, and kids on tricycles would out accelerate the Badger.

I don't even want to think about how loose the brake caliper would have to be to compensate for the slop that those springs would allow.

Hence my asking if anyone had ridden one! Looks like a disaster waiting to happen!

Did anyone live to tell the tale?

Thanks! All repurposed parts! The headtube had 2 hairline cracks and wasn't being covered under warranty. I bought it cheap last year for the Ultegra parts and built up a Guru Geneo. The wheelset is Bontrager carbon 650c front fine, with a cracked rear hub. Do I have to say anything beyond.....650c? Fun project!

Embacher collection to be sold in it's entirety!

Post your bids now! (I was lucky enough to see this collection when it was displayed at Portland Art Museum!)

Here is a very small sample of the catalog

While out on a ride yesterday with other vintage road racers, this was most definitely exotic ~ cambio corsa.

How does this work in real life?
For example- can you quick release the rear and adjust the chain tension while riding?
Seems like it would either jump too far forward, or drop backwards unevenly causing the wheel to go out of line and rub the left chainstay.
