I had a Dick Power dating to around 1963-4 That was built for the 1964 Olympic trials held at the Kissena track in Queens, NY. It had quad seat stays and was never used as far as I know. It is now owned by Jeff Groman. If anyone wants to see it follow this link, click on main menu, and you will see the link to the bike. http://www.thevintagebikelife.com
