LOL - enjoy it, and if you don't post any more, we'll know to scan the obit columns of the Welsh newspapers so we can send flowers.

It looks an amazing machine, but the rear brake looks like something invented around 1878. Reminds me of the 'spoon' brakes they had on penny farthings.

What was it like to pedal? Looks like it would need a fair bit of input power to get it going along smartly. I suspect the electric assist idea would be a good addition and there is plenty of scope for battery storage. Here's an idea for upgrading the brakes.... You could chuck it off the back in an emergency when tearing downhill with your wedding party aboard.
