Very nice, but I bet it steers like a supertanker... And brake calipers mounted ahead of the forks - that dates it.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I like that a lot. In fact I think I might have had a model of almost exactly that when I was a kid.
But it looks like it's in Sellafield and I've already been up there before to buy a vehicle, so I'll pass.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
At first glance I thought this would be one for the eBay WTF thread, but the more I read the more I liked- she's definitely not a looker, or really that amazing engineering or power-wise, but that was a great little project, something that really appeals to me and I would have enjoyed doing.
