This c1890 Mettlach bicycle stein was a nice p/u...just came today off eBay...in my subjective opinion I think it's one of the top thee bicycle steins...I've done features on the other two, see links below...I'll disclose the three sided shot below is a different example than mine that I put together during the week prior to to get a good look at it...It's identical to mine except for the metal thumb lever is different...I prefer racing scenes but the art quality is there...I have other sports porcelain but I think this is the first traditional German beer stein I've ever owned.
