Thread: Build Your Own Penny Farthing Bicycle

Hello Again,

If anyone in Brisbane area is interested in building their own Penny Farthing then please see the attached pdf.

I've seen and experienced some of Brett's work and teachings and can highly recommend the course to anyone who might be interested. There's other bike courses too like, frame building, maintenance etc.

FWIW I've seen a pic of a guy touring on a Penny Farthing - panniers and all. I think the website was fully loaded touring but I think the pic has moved on. Have a look anyhow: Fully Loaded Touring Bicycles - On Tour Photo Gallery by Ron W at pbase.com

One of my customers, Wal Martin, restores penny-farthings and rides them in rallies. He rode the Melbourne to Geelong Rally a couple of years ago when he was but a boy of 85.
