All I will say is that it was a Basil creation and that I had to borrow a welder .....

Mind you, his track record with Penny Farthings is not that good!!

LOL, he snapped the frame clean in two. Then had v8Spiders 'man' welded it back together the wrong way round!

It was nearly the funniest thing I have ever seen.

his legs were too long for that one.

Hmmm, I am not liking the idea of penny lessons based on all of the above, she is quite a fine specimen, built for lightness and racing!! She also has the equivlant of a 56/58" wheel, due to the saddle I use.

I will get the Mk1 out one day for everyone to have a go, that is easier to repair, should there be an "accident".
