Old Bicycles vs. Vintage Bicycles
Menotomy is taking old and vintage bicycles and preparing them to be used by commuters. As vintage bikes are typically heavier, Menotomy is taking off the old bikes all the extra parts that add weight, such as chain guards, fenders, racks, etc. This makes these bicycles simple and easy to ride by commuters of all ages.
