I've posted a few pics of the Chesapeake Wheelmen, probably taken in the = mid to late 1940s.

http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/aldorossiv/lst?.dir=3D/Chesapeake+Wheelmen&.v i= ew=3Dt

Picture #1, 4th rider from the left is F. Sandruck. His dad G.C. = Sandruck is 6th from the left.

Picture #2, F. Sandruck in the center, wearing his national champion's = jersey. G.C. is second from right. Note that some of the adjustable = stems are mounted with the bars on top, while others have the bars = below.

Picture #3, F. Sandruck and his wife, who also raced. I saw both of = these bikes in 1998, after they'd been stored in a damp basement which = frequently flooded. You could push your finger through the rusted = frames, a very sad sight. There were another 10 bikes in that basement, = including a NOS R/W/B Paramount with the bottombracket rusted off. More = 1940s & 1950s racing bikes were rotting away in a shed out back, = including a number of Frejus and Paramounts.

Picture #4, roller racing, tall versus short. What is the chainring on = the bike on the left? Three rings...

Picture #5, G.C. on a derailleur bike. He was a very tall man, = emigrated from Cuba after WW1.

Picture #6, Test-fitting a bike with fenders and hub gear. Get some air = in those tires!

Picture #7, G.C. in front of his shop, located at 915 Howard Street, = Baltimore. Note the (Cyclo?) derailleur bike in the window. It has = drop bars, just visible beside G.C.s head.
