I'm shocked you even need to ask. Truly awful - like a massive cartwheel made of wood with an iron rim.

Sorry - truly? Like a wheel - just like a wheel.

I reckon I'll get an Anthem

I'd love a Turner Sultan but I reckon it'll cost £4K to build, I'd normally have plenty of bits to put on a new frame but going for a big wheeled bike means new forks & wheels at least so £3k for the rolling chassis

Thats the whole point of having big wheels....you don't bother turning and the roll over all the bumpy bits inbetween.
