This is a bike that I'm building for the 2014 Freakbikers UNITE!! Penny Fakething Build Off. www.facebook.com/groups/1449099482018067/The idea of this build off is for the entrants to build their idea of what a FreakBike version of a Penny Farthing would be. Here is my build pictures so far .... This front wheel is off of an old Razor Trike. It is a freewheel not a fixed, pedal setup, like most kid's tricycles.  |

Here's some more pics .... Had to stretch out the fork headtube.  Front fork/wheel mounted into the frame headtube.  Tacked together. The frame pieces as well as that little rear wheel are parts from old weightlifting equipment and a bicycle transport rack.  |

A few more .... piece cut from an old Health Ryder frame.  Tacked onto frame to use as a brace.  Chunk off a friend's old work bench. This will be a bottom support brace for the frame.  |

I took Miss Pennyswerth out to Hamburg, Michigan and left her at the Hamburg Food Center to help hype people up about the "Bikes In the 'burg" event on the 21st of September. She made a few friends while out there. This is Dave, the owner of the Hamburg Food Center  She also met this boney boy.  |

Finally a couple of good pics of just Miss Pennyswerth.    Since these pictures, I've painted her up and finished her off. I'll be posting the new pics later tonight. |
