I want buzzy`s BIKE! That is so cool!
It`s also hands-down winner of "oldest form of transport" here, I think!

My oldest is the 1931 Chevy 2-door coach.

My Austin 10/4 is recorded as 1932. but surely the oldest car must be the Alldays and Onions one of the contributors has.

Very nice PF! The handlebars look just right to my untrained eye.

Wow radial spoked wheels, they came back 100 years later. Where the hell would one get spokes that long and what gauge are they?

Hi

I could make the spokes, and you can buy some from a guy in the midlands, but the issue is there are no standard threads, so it would be a case of making your own taps and dies!

Tangital spokes came in, in the early 1880's, so not many PF, have the radial spoked wheels, but as I prefere early things, radial spokes, and straight handle bars are a must!

No bearings either!
