Not as much response as I expected.
Let's show you how the Penny Fakething was made, and hopefully I'll have something new for tomorrow.
Take a donor bike...
...and strip out the forks. They are going to end up here:
For this they need cold setting to match the frame:
The frame & forks are cut...
...and welded up
Meanwhile, a tube is added to the headtube...
...and bent to shape for the spine
Some small forks are welded in the other end of the tube and a footpeg added for mounting.
A bit of old frame is added to hold the saddle. And a piece of tubing from a scrap office chair is altered slightly to make handlebars, which are mounted in a stem fitted in the original seat tube.
The 'step-through' handlebars means it is safer than a proper pennyfarthing as it is possible to dismount forwards without handlebars being in the way.
A few months later, Velovision Editor, Peter Eland, catches me riding it at an event...
...which is where this video was taken.
