I like it. Where did you you find the 28" Franks? What rear wheel are you running?

The Wheels are Worksman and the front drum is theirs as well. Works decently, but if I were to build another small bike like this, I'd upgrade the brakes. The rear "crank" is just single sided And operates the coaster brake for the rear. I rarely used it though. This bike would top out in the...

The rear triangle was Roadmaster, so I kept the badge to reference that.

Yes, you do have to pedal the bike backwards. I built this one originally for a bike art show, and wanted something different to stand out amongst the tall bikes and swingbikes. Its a trip to see it riding as it pedals in reverse, coaster brake forward. I thought of putting the front shaft gear...

Not at all. I got good money for it, and now it sits in a living room in NYC with a bunch of cool bikes.

Keeps the gears in constant mesh but allows them to pull away from eachother if they bind. Like if a pebble gets lodged in there.

I started some other threads of bikes I've built. The chainless is recent. I have a bike based on a Harley J that I've been messing with for a little while now too.

Once chain technology improved, it was no longer worth the effort to pursue chainless designs. Heavier, more expensive, harder to adjust, limited ratios, etc... so they're pretty cool!

This bike started as a bare frame of a Raleigh Marathon I believe. I wanted to create a shaft drive bike like the old Columbia you see in the background, as I'm a little uneasy about riding a 111 year old bike. So I tried to make it resemble a safety bike of that late Victorian era. Gears came...

Exactly! Olli buils some wonderful bikes. Motorcycles too. He and I share a common thread!

I built this bike a few years ago to make use of some wheels I bought at an estate sale. Although technically not a boneshaker, I did use wheels of that era, so close enough. The wheels came off of an 1880s-1890s wheelchair. I made both wheels mount single sided, no "forks". Built the frame and...

hey, I had forgotten about this website for a while. Heres a boardtrack inspired bike I built a couple years ago, and subsequently sold. Forks are Monark, Wheels are Worksman, pretty much everything else I built from scratch. Enjoy! My girlfriend put up some videos back when I was selling it...
