Ahoy !
What has prodded this question is the "Peugot Freres" manual coffee grinder I have and an over-riding curiousity as how the bicycle industry fits in the milleau of engineering and manufacturing. Example: aircraft alloys being used in the bicycle industry. Building bicycles does not appear to be an easy path, if any path, to wealth. What else did the "in time line" builders do to earn a living so they could pratice their craft? If the bike business was profitable, the Wright Brothers wouldn't have closed shop in favour of another venture.
Thanks.
