Shiny Gazing & A Reminder to Cut Your Toenails

I frequently search eBay for unique hubs, bikes, and cycling memorabilia. A good friend told me it is called "Shiny Gazing" if you do it in the wee hours of the night. While shiny gazing I did come across a cool little bike with a Sachs Duomatic "kickback" hub, which has a single cog but will change to a secondary gearing when pedaled backward for a moment. No shifter required for 2 gears. Pretty cool. Though the bike looked pretty sweet: an older lugged steel frame with a dynamo for lights, a rack, and a sprung leather saddle.
