Bikes were cutting edge and all the rage during that period. lots of makers, even the Wrights. most of them were small concerns, probably hard to tell................Buck

The bikes were a commodity, nobody would have paid attention to what brand it was and certainly for the movie they would have used anything that "looked right."

 

Trivia:

Paul Newman did his own bicycle stunts, after his stunt man was unable to stay on the bike.

It was a black one as I remember it.

....had two wheels......the bull didn't like it!

It was a Trek 1 prototype. One of the first mountain bikes. It came with only one speed. I just want a girl like that on my handlebars. If they made that movie today, he would have to wear a protetcive helmet.
