Introducing the St. Clair

Visited the National Air and Space Museum yesterday. Below are images of one of five remaining bicycles from the Wright Cycle Co., Located right next to the original Wright Flier; "The Wrights used the profits from the Wright Cycle Company to finance their aviation experiments."
