OT - but elegant engineering

That is truly awesome

Just one question, how can you afford it all

All the best

Eyhup lad!

J. Kim Siddorn,

A brilliant piece - but: The final result is a =A3100,000 bike that you can buy but should never ride. Magnifcent though the machine looks, it doesn't make sense to me. It's not original, merely an excelent visual copy, and without practical use. Beutifull but not for me I'm afraid. I prefer machines that I can use. Go on, you can all call me heartless now.

The interesting thing is that this is a prototype & he is gearing up to make a small number of them - probably half a dozen or so.

He is not alone & there was a Hilderbrand & Wulfmuller replica advertised recently. This is a bike so early in design (but not in years!) that the conn rods drove the back wheel direct, the crankpins being eccentric to the rear wheel spindle.

I suppose we should be glad someone is building them so we at least have a chance of seeing what they were like when new.

But - as you say John - not for me, I like to ride 'em.

Regards,

J. Kim Siddorn, Regia Anglorum
