Please find below a gallery of pictures of my Penny Farthings.

The geared bicycle which I rode to Paris was a one off, very heavy and complicated, and I will not be making any more!
The mk2 Penny was a delight to ride after the geared bicycle, these and the new mk3 are the machines you are able to purchase from me.
I have made the pictures of a higher resolution than on the rest of the site, so the down load time will be slightly longer. 

Click on the image for the full size picture.

The mk1 geared Penny Farthing.
The geared Penny weighs a horrendous 77lbs, but is extremely strong! I used a Sturmey Archer 3speed hub with drum brake, and am able to change the overall gearing by swapping sprockets.
