Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Check my wicked new fixie, 48"

Swinging over is a ***** OOps. This is my wifes login.

And an action photo. You have to get a running start and then climb up. The bike isn't mine. I trued the wheels for a customer($20, sound fair?)

Skid That Mother

I'd like to see one of those with full suspension.

Do you generally run one brake or two? What's a pursuit version look like?

The pursuit version has a 65" wheel and pedal blocks. No brakes.

']Skid That Mother

The big wheel is in the back?

um...just out of curiousity, how does one true that giant wheel? i'm imagining a marker, or pencil either rubber-banded in place on the fork to mark the rim, and then spinning the wheel....either that or you had park fab up a custom truing stand...

i've been considering finding one of those for myself, but i imagine they're pretty hard to come by nowadays...

Isn't there a company reproducing that style of bike nowdays? I remember seeing a newer version at my LBS a couple of months ago, someone help me out here.

Ridable Replicas (http://www.hiwheel.com/) has them. (specifically, here (http://www.hiwheel.com/antique_replicas/boneshaker_hiwheel.htm). I'd love to have one, but a bit pricey right now. Maybe I can just get a wheel and build the frame myself...

']funniest shyte here today.

****, now I have to clean the monitor :D

Flip the bar around, instant bullhorns.

There is one for sale on Ebay right now look up "highwheeler" If you try and buy one beware the shipping, some of these are big enough they will have to go motorfreight and they cost might run as much as $200

To true it I clamped the frame in the stand and rubberbanded a pencil to the fork.

The tire is solid rubber with a wire running thru it, you buy it by the foot and the wire is twisted on its ends to tighten it to the rim. The distributor that used to be called Island had a guy that did it.

Yeah I wouldn't mind having one myself, but really what would I use it for? Probably just drunken group rides or Critical Mass, aside from that not the most practical bike out there.

You can get a version of it on unicycle.com.
