I just bought this.
It's a modern reproduction, complete with pedal reflectors, Shimano brake and upside down BMX handlebars.
I haven't ridden it yet. I had a go, but the step is too close to the tyre and too smooth to scoot it along safely. I need to extend it back and add a grip surface.
You ever take it off any sweet jumps?
DO A BACKFLIP!
Never mind doing a back flip, [b]not[/b] doing a front flip is going to be the challenge.
When it kills you can I have your bikes... but not that one. ๐
Does it run tubeless?
Not only tubeless, valveless as well. ๐
I don't see a map holder..?
Question is WHY?
awesome ๐
If you riding in the northwood lane area of Bewdley let me know, would love to see one of those
That's fantastic. Well done MTG.
Mine's recumbent and folds. ๐

if the weather is ok I plan to go and have a look.
Just read a article in this months Cycling Active on Penny Farthings,seems like a brake is not a good idea when learning as grabbing a fistful will definetly end in a face plant and from a good height too.
I would love to have a go on one though.
Epicyclo... There's something about your 'second' saddle that gives me the willies, as it were ๐
I praise The Lord that gears were invented.

It would more rad if the fork was a Lefty. ๐
I had one of the original big hits. They seem to have got rid of the specialized decals on this new one?

Now that's a 69er!
No valves!? What do you align the logos with to stop the wheels exploding?
