So that's had a sex change using joinery? Or is it just something to attach the rear rack to? How much is it?

Isn't that the new eco GT the cycling press are going mad over? Complete with a biodegradable third triangle...

Bike shaped objects.
Fcuk @Guinessisgoodforyou - go steady dude*. Can't take all that in in one go. 
* dude / fella / bod / mate / good buddy / old chap / fella / old bean whatever is fashionable these days.
I like the first red one very much. Would be better and sleek without the "tank thingy whatever it is" and ½" off the tyre width.
Yours truly.

I know a couple of those guys from the other place. #1 and #6, big fan of both.

Here's what reallybigtim (recognize the garage door from #6?) is building now...
You mountain bike types may want to note the Stuart Warner floating hub up front, it's a torsion sprung suspension system in the hub itself, an Elgin option in the late 30s. Also interesting is the seat adjustment, no seatpost, so you just slide it back for more legroom.

I see floating hubs advertised from time to time, what are they and what do they do? I seen a phoro of a pair off and they just looked like a hubcaps? And what were they used on?

Here's a few pics of my almost totally naked Townsend thing. Now sporting just the one gear, which isn't the right one.

It's currently a 34 tooth front and 16 rear and it's too hard.
I've got a tiny 25 tooth BMX chainring and an 18 tooth rear. I'll try some mixing and matching tomorrow, but now I must eat and drink.

Have those grips been repurposed?
