What's with all the museum links?

The article currently only states that two of the three known existing bikes are in museums, but the museums linked to in external links make no mention of the bikes. Why the museum template and all the museum categories? -AndrewDressel (talk) 16:17, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The reason for the museum links is that it gives information on how to contact the museum (phone No etc) in order to view a Defiance Bicycle. I understand the bike is currently on loan and on display at the Carmarthen library, but will be returned to the museum shortly. Canol (talk) 20:29, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so no need for a link to the friends of the museum site or inclusion in the Museums established in 1908 category. -AndrewDressel (talk) 20:55, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Second chain drive bicycle in the world

The claim that the Defiance was the second chain drive bicycle in the world is problematic. Earlier examples include the 1869 Meyer-Guilmet, the 1879 Lawson, the 1884 McCammon, and the 1884 Starley Rover. -AndrewDressel (talk) 03:20, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Even the most-detailed reference for Defiance only states that "Defiance's other claims to fame are that they were, in 1878, the first cycle maker in Wales, and, at the latter end of 1884, among the first to make a chain driven bicycle outside of Coventry." -AndrewDressel (talk) 03:58, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
