I rode this bike in a novelty race in 1960 from the Commercial Pub to Cobden. I think that somebody rode that bedstead bike in the same race. Ron Hartill won the race on a Penny Farthing.

Alan Messenger From memory Vic Rudd built the bike you are on, Vic also built a oversize 3 wheeler.

Paul, I thought that a guy Stone ( Gary’s father) built the bikes, but I wouldn’t be sure of it.
