Whoa, I've never seen one of those! Where is it located? I'd love to have it but I suspect it's far from here. Nice find!
 
holy smokes, I'm in CT and if I did not just have my knee operated on I'd be on my way to get that. That's a huge pile of want.
 
Sweet! Did you buy that?

Yeah, I did. It's in the shop. Difficult to ride but would love to try it in the snow or mud. (difficult as there is indeed a lot of what feels like drag). Would be so much better if the front wheel drive could be engaged and disengaged with a locking hub type interface- possible mod for sure). Wife says keep it and I'm not sure what to do with it except maybe become a benefactor at a bicycle museum, insure it as priceless and retire.

It could also become a bicycle powered Dremel or drill.

Need to research this oddity a bit more, however, I may post it for trade or for sale as I would rather be in a more desirable situation such as noted herein:

Very cool! I agree, it should be kept original. Probably not real good for a daily rider but an awesome conversation piece for the shop.

I love your klunker! It’s got some great elements going on already. :cool2:

Yeah, not mine but a direction I want to go. The frame and wheel set is listed in Brooklyn for $350.00 and I love the look too, definitely a source of inspiration!
