    Great project! I’ve considered doing one myself for a while. Better hurry as the youngest is 14 months….

    Just out of interest stevied, what 5th axis is that? I see you’re running it on a Hardinge, I run two GX1000’s but with Siemens control and am trying to convince the boss it would be a good idea 😉

    Fantastic work!! Gorgeous little bike, and even better because you’ve gone to the effort of making something special rather than just shell out for something expensive and mass market.

    I love it. Presents like that make special childhood memories.

    Thank you all for your comments.
    Weight is 4.4kg so a bit heavy but rolls well.
    I’m going to sort the stickers with some white piping tape.
    The 5th axis we have is a Nikken one, so useful and worth getting.

    As and when she gets “balance”, would welding a BB, sticking some cranks and a freewheel and a front brake be doable?

    Maybe not in light of the recent MTB company copyright lawsuits!

    Seriously lucky little girl, I wish you were my dad 😆

    Oops, too late. Well, I can always take the stickers off 😉

    umm, it appears to have no brake.

    But apart from that, excellent. Really nice to see.

    dude, your bike just showed up on an email from CRC.
    get a patent in quick – there’s likely to be a load of copies hitting the shops!

    CRC contacted me about putting on their hub.
    Here’s a pic of the bike with my 6.6 😀

    Really is a superb bit of crafting 11\10 for effort and finish
    Hope she loves it as much as we do

    Well, the bike was a bit of a miss yesterday but today she’s been on it in the house with daddy supporting her 😀
    It’s a little bit big but she keeps saying “again”..very happy daddy!
