    Forgot the name of the manufacturer. Appears to be copper plated or just plain copper pipe, barely any brazing or welding visible with tubes clustered into head tube etc. Alfine hubs, disc brakes, weird ass saddle on a strap between headset and ‘seat tube’, quite something!

    Good work, and I can now figure out that the brand was I think Kemper. Would quite like a go on one.

    Never seen a disc one. Wouldn’t that put massive pressure on the mega long forks?

    The forks are long, but the lower pivot is where it is on a conventional frame, so no more leverage.

    Pedersens are great – very comfy and dignified.

    Always wanted a pedersen. Almost bought one once. Of course it won’t be an original Dursley. Sad story but amazing bikes. Incredibly light for steel at the time. kemper are the goto now but others are available.

    I think they claimed 15lbs for one model.

    Always wanted one.

    Nearly 2000 euro for a basic model. 😯 Makes a Brompton look quite the bargain. Nice though, and of course no chance of a cheap prices based on large production runs.

    This is the best one, at the Tate in Liverpool. Unsurprisingly they wouldn’t let me have a ‘go’, I assume because the tyres were flat and there weren’t enough of us to fill all the seats hammocks.

    My brother has one, albeit about 35yrs old so not disc braked, lovely to ride on the flat…

    My other brother has an original about 100yrs old 8)
