mini hi wheel 2

[dash]

this is the second atempt at a hi wheel, the last one i made was cool but was to hard to ride when i had a cuppel in me. my last build lacked strenght so i will be adding gusets on this one! The front wheel came of a old schwin ten speed , and the rear wheel is a 10 inch wheel. i have ridden and built lots of tall bikes but i have trubel getting on the seat and riding due to the fact that i am a tall dwarf, so this bike will be desined for the little dude and the ladies. this is what i have so far,and please let me know what you would do to make it better!

i think it would be good to run the
rear wheel as the drive wheel. :arrow:
put a sprocket on it as a fixie. :idea: :mrgreen:

i got it pediling today! its fun to ride but slow, i need a better gear ratio. you really have to peddel a lot to get anywhere or just cruize slow but i will work on that one.

well its done for now! i will change the bars and seat and put a big head light eventuly and keep an eye out for a exercycle sprocket im thinking of lacing a 3 speed hub into the 12.5 inch wheel it might take a year to fuigure it out but it shure would be cool. has any one thought of geting a bunch of huge sprockets made? how many teeth are they?

i went on a 2 mile ride and it was the longest 2 miles of my life! when your up hi and riding against the wind your body is like a parachute i didn't think of that when i left because i was riding with the wind but on the way back all up hill and strong wind in the face
