Another beaut’ from A.N.T.; this one’s a step-thru Boston Roadster.

Hi Alan… I’m not familiar with this front fender setup. What does the spring do in that fifth frame?
Rob,
that spring keeps the front wheel stabilized so it doesn’t flip around when you’re loading it.
Is that an Ashtabula crank I see? Shades of the 40s!
Ashstabula cranks are damned durable. I never managed to break one when I was in my bicycle demolition years. Fairly simple to maintain too.

I’ve been admiring ANT bikes since the beginning of the year. They are so well put together, and I just love the idea of a “Boston” roadster.
Lovely, don’t forget to check out the ANT demo page. Right now there is a Dutch-style bike listed for only $1,200. It doesn’t have “Boston” in the name, but it was made in Holliston.
