Paganelli Gentleman Sport, touring bicycle, 1988, Italy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Bicycle with lever<\/strong> propulsion; this system, that is proposed from time to time, was welcomed by the audience curiosity.<\/p>\n

The lever system is older than the bicycle itself and among the first applications, you can see it fitted on a 1881 US bicycle here at the museum.<\/p>\n

It seems that the first company to use this innovative system was the English Singer<\/strong> in 1879<\/strong>, followed by the American Smith Machine C.ny\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>in 1880. CLAVIGER (GB) tried too in 1888, as well as GAZELLE (F) in 1896, and the Italian STAGNI and FONTANA that gained a certain fame for this kind of bicycles.<\/p>\n
