James Carver and his Hollow Spoke High Wheel

Originally a manufacturer of lace making machines from 1815, Carver turned to bycicles in the 1870s. He took out a patent for hollow spokes on 6 July 1877 and continued to manufacture "Carver", "Hollow Spoke", "Nottingham", "Solid Spoke" and " Tourist Hollow Spoke" high-wheelers for another ten years based at Alfred Street Mills, Nottingham, England. We are showing one of machines with hollow spokes here. "Fortunately" one spoke was broken and we are able show that it is really hollow!

Vintage or Antik Bicycles in India?

J. Bejšovec - an exposition with touch of nostalgia

The famous czech photographer Jan Bejšovec is my friend and he was a very popular chairman of Czech Velocipedist Club 1880 for a lot of years.  All his photo exhibitions, where antik bicycles are showed, are always  in centre of attention for all visitors. If you will look on our pictures you will quickly understand why.
