I was deleting photos from my computer's hard drive today and found two related to fellow KCA Forum members.  I thought I would share with others a picture of Dick Hosmer's first bike and Psteinmayer 'ramping up' for next year's Vintage Matches at Camp Perry.

Didn't know the Army used Trapdoors on bicycles. I have a 92/96 Krag that spent some time with the Bicycle Troops ( 25th Infantry, aka the "Buffalo Soldiers" ) in 1897.

Their bicycle ride from Montana to St. Louis is an epic.  What a prize rifle you have!

No offense taken!!!

Where in the world did you find this older picture of me?  (yes, it does look a little like me, LOL)  The funny thing is I'm no longer that large...  I've lost over 160 pounds now!

Cheesy

It's the extra ammo and chargers that make a man look large!

No offense taken here either - just thought I'd let you sweat a bit! Can you imagine how many punctures per mile those guys must have had? Wonder how often the entire command was actually rolling all at the same time.

And, just think - that guy might be Kim Kardashian's great grandfather! Similar mustache, at least.

I love the huge "Ice Tong" devices used to lift that shell into the breach!  Those old tars must have been something in a bar fight, LOL

I cannot add any details.  The picture was posted on the Culver's Pages without provenance.
