It's not the first time that "thing" has been listed, the seat is what frightens me about it it's just too close to the rear wheel for my liking :o

home made or origional, i just reckon these old things are kinda neat. if there was somewhere to regularly take them for a spin/race or whatever it'd be a fun thing to do. i too remember seeing it listed before. tempting...

vandy i dont think they got the drive train sorted out :O)
IF you got one running ride it on the street, surely it would be classed as a powered bycicle under 1hp, thats legal down here.
failing that take over the coles carpark on a sunday. We used to tune our 100cc race bike in a bi lo Carpark before they went 7 days, private land/comon use has its advantages :O)

Those into Custom cars & rods would recognise the seller as Simon Watts. He's an Australian artist who's spent the last 10-20? years living in America and Europe and focussing mainly on old school pinstriping and Kustom Kulture style art.
One of those lucky arty bastards who can turn their hands to anything by the looks of it.
