epicyclo - what the hell is that and how do you 'pedal' it?

It's an Alenax. You pump the pedals up and down like a treadle.

It's actually got gears (the long arms) but I've locked it into one. It's hard to explain how it works, but it involves lengths of wire, a couple of chains and 2 freewheels (one each side). It's obvious when you look at it though.

I've got it in Oz, but I may get it shipped over. It would be fun to do a SS event on it.

Since building this I've barely ridden anything else.

Now sold (to a fellow STWr) but great bike, have a 456 that will become rigid/SS for next winter

Epicyclo, that is truly awful and I really like most of the rest of your bikes....
If anyone is inspired and want to try ss cheaply.....I'm selling my non disc On One

Then you haven't seen this niche monster 🙂

Abortive 2WD prototype.

ugh..........

In an attempt to improve the visual quality of the pictures (after that 2wd monstrosity!) I give you my new 26" Cotic simple, one of the last brand new 26" simple frames available from limited edition batch.

Jobs to do/ bits to fit
Bleed brakes
Pick up matching rear wheel (that one was used so I could go for a shakedown, came off my am bike....)
Fit king headset and trim steerer
Buy/fit shorter stem
Buy ti seat post
Change that bloody chain
Umming and ahhhhing over what ration to use. 32/16,17 or 18. Massive differences between them?
Raw the frame (might be a summer job though!)

Judge away!

Really loving Nixie's Cotic Simple - that is one tidy bike

Finally got a pic of mine as I was waiting to be rescued (puncture and spare had a hole in it)

Maiden voyage tonight. Need to get myself a Surly Tugnut, some proper tyres and maybe some proper bars (big friggin silly wide things) but overall, love it! Curtis S1, Salsa Cromotos, Middleburn Uno, DMR/Mavic/WI wheelset, SLX brakes, Mary bars, SDG I-Beam seat and post etc...
