These visionary individuals combined engineering ingenuity with an artistic eye, using f ound parts to create durable bicycles that could withstand the bumps and tumbles of downhill racing. This summer, some of these early mountain bik es, on loan from the Monkey Wrench collection, will be on view in Sheldon 's Great Hall.
