    Bamboozle!

    Thank you much folks! I like to see her ride and if I have to build her a hundred bikes I will, but I think this one's gonna stick. It helps when she's involved in the proccess too.

    Bamboozle!

    My wife has been telling me that her bike was a little too tall for her for a while now. I got her a 24 inch bike but she couldn't keep up with everyone else on the 26's. So I happen to come across this 80's Murray bike someone put out with their trash. I chopped the frame into three parts, and...

    Penny Farthing type wheel info

    Thanks Alec, I've been thinking about getting some bearings at the local hardware store and using a front fork from a mountain bike. I figure that if I use a shock on the front that will reduce the "bone shaker" effect on the bike. I know it's going to be a slow poke, but I'm not looking to do...

    Thank you guys! It's something I've been thinking about for a while, but never been close enough to one to reverse engineer it.

    Penny Farthing type wheel info

    I've been contemplating a front wheel drive bike build. I don't know a whole lot about the set up for the wheel though. Does anyone have any info on how it's set up?
