I'm looking at this wonderful old city bike conversion, a "Tour de Suisse" ebay Item number: 200256216639 looking very '50s with its integrated headset, swoopy lugs, A&P tubing, Duprat crank etc. etc. ...and a wheelset with Edco hubs. Probably a long shot but were Edco around in the '50s? I know wheelsets tend to migrate from bike to bike so it's likely this set isn't anything close to original, but who knows? Not me.

And it got no bids starting at 1 USD! I've never heard of the marque, but the bike is very cool in its own funky way.
