An Old English Roadster

I have been looking at this website for a replica bicycle .  It looks very similar to a 1890's or earlier 1940's British men road bike.  The frame has some similar features as this women's version from the late 1890's.

The only down side at this point is I just got laid off from my job. So, the new bike is now on the back burner until I get a new job.  Wish me luck.

More Photos From The Point

The Stars and Stripes above the fort.

The usual suspects. Actually they are members of the Berdan's Sharpshooters.

The west stone staircase that ascends three stories.

Photos from the Point

I thought that I would put up a few of the photos from The Living History Day at Fort Point.

The National Park Service hosted the day and the fort was garrisoned by several American Civil War reenacting groups that are based out of northern California.

I had a really great time during the event. The National Park Service allowed the reenacting groups to stay inside Fort Point for an overnight, something that has not happened in a long time. I however was unable to stay for the night. Hopefully there will be another chance to attend this event for a overnight next year.

I even got to meet the 26th President.

I will put up some more photos in the next couple of days.
