What exactly constitutes a test bike? Just curious, is it a "factory test", or is it a "bike store" test ride?

In the US? I remember starting to get them in the shop by 90 or 91???

That must be a tiny camera to fit inside the wheel. Nice photos.

 

[colker1]

it's a special; girlz bike.

 

[zingel]

yes, it's a girlie-geometry with short top tube ...i'm still looking for a girl

I think it was a "Test Bike" for that geometry, but i'm not sure.

Nice Indy, but I must "represent" the USA. Here's mine. A Deluxe!

Ok, ok, so my photography can't compare to Zingel. Sorry.

I did some ad work for the original Indy guys in the early days, back when they were out of the church basement, in return for a smokin' deal on a frame. Being in Boston has it's benefits! Great guys. This is my all-time favorite bike. :thumbsup:

anything more than 3 cable donuts looks funny

 

[KDXdog]

Yeah, I had a bag of 'em, went overboard. I knew that was coming!
