Hey guys, here's my review of the (New) Bicycle Vintage Fan Backs that were recently printed.

Finish
It doesn't say on the box, but I'm pretty sure that they are the normal Bicycle Air Cushion finish.

Handling
Magic
Very nice. If you've ever used a deck of Bikes, you know how they feel.

Flourishing
See magic.

Faces
Not much to say. The only difference between this and a deck of Rider Backs if the awesome Ace of Spades. The center pip is much larger, with designs all around it. Inside the pip is a statue of Lady Liberty. Above the pip it says US Playing Cards and below it it says Bicycle.

Backs
The backs were the reason I picked these babies up. I really like them. There is a big fan on each half, with flowers and a bicycle inside it. There are flowing designs all around the cards, much like Rider Backs. I can't really describe the backs, so you have to really see them to appreciate them.

If you have any questions feel free to reply to this thread or send me a PM.

I mean the new ones. Weird, when compared to rider backs they are the same size.

These are one of my favourite decks. I have two that are from about 1930 or so i think. Very beautiful design :)
