I'm curious what sort of clutch it has? Can't make it out in the photos. Really cool design, you could fit a small suitcase in that frame!

That's really cool. Thanks for sharing, and for the pics too. Black one looks like it would be a little awkward to ride since it appears to have a little different rake than the other two. What a cool score. That looks like it would be fun to ride in the local 4th of July parade. Just curious, what size are the wheels?
