67 13 blimey.
road gears are expressed as gear inches.
138 gi is a massive gear to push
a 'normal' road going gear is 70ish, track sprinters use 85-95
That thing up there looks like a gate.
It's about a 23" frame Smee, are you a midget?
Or do you mean the bannister?
Odds on him bailing?
it's long so he can get an aero position without contravening UCI rules.
i love the fact that its a potential world record breaking bike - and that he's running a couple of different model chains on it (6 oclock links silver) 😆

...Odds on him bailing?"
Low. He may end up prevented from doing it, but he won't bail voluntarily.
Obree is a real cycling hero, not one of those fluorescent divas who pass for cyclists.
Hmm thats a big gear, but its not THAT big a gear....

Thats a 77 - 11 ratio or 160 gear inches.
epicyclo he bailed last time. I wish him well though.
The difference between O'Bree's bike and the TT bike is that O'Bree's is a fixed. Admittedly even the low gear on the Tt will be big but easier to start than the Fixie.
Hang on a minute, his logos/value don't line up 🙄 He wont win/break anything with it like that.
