Half Penny (Penny "Freakthing" Fakething)

[dracothered]

So I'm building a Penny "Freakthing" Fakething in a build off over on Freakbikers UNITE!! Facebook page.

2014 Freakbikers UNITE!! Penny Fakething Build Off

The main frame section is a foot scooter and the rear from a 16" suspension kids bike...

That has a cool stance. Creative use of different parts.

Enlisted my son to hold it up...

Well it's a tall bike for sure at 42-1/2" tall at the seat....

Half Penny is alive now and is rideable, but I still need to master riding this type of bike. Crashed her twice already and skinned my shin on the second crash.

Added a brace to the goose neck after one of the members on FB said it might be wise to have it.

The steps are made from a couple cheap second hand 19mm wrenches.

Hope to get one soon...

This might sound weird (Living in coastal FL with no hills), but you know what the first thing that came to mind with those 19mm wrench steps?

A really cool rear set pegs for a gravity racer!

No more wait, here is a short video I shot today...



Still need to learn how to start out from the ground level, in this video I used the rear bumper of my Tahoe to start out from.
