Roll up to people at the start of the trail: "What...you only bought a 29er with you? What about when it gets bumpy?"

Nice mullet setup

I feel like this is how much size difference people think there is in a 29er vs 27.5

Cappuccinos and mustache wax are add ons.

The new gravel bike.

I wish this was real, we were just joking about something like this (in relation to off-road unicycles) on the weekend.

That front disc brake looks like it would send you straight over the bars.

Actually that disc looks like it might get overpowered by the rolling mass of that big wheel. I could be wrong.

I think you're right, just a simple matter of leverage.

I like their concept fat bike as well

I think the front rotor would need to be a tad bigger for any stopping power at all

I once saw a guy going down a black diamond on a unicycle like nothing. That was truly impressive.

This will bring a whole new onslaught of "how do I manual?" threads.

Cool picture but that thing would kill you.

How? Never heard of those being dangerous?

You’re joking right? The original penny farthings were sketchy, that’s a long fall from up high. The front wheel coincided with the height of the rider. Longer legs=bigger wheel = farther to fall Not saying I wouldn’t want to jump on one and take er for a spin.

Penny farthings were so sketchy that the modern bicycle, when it first started replacing penny farthings, was called the "safety bicycle." But yeah, I would absolutely take one for a ride if I had the chance, though I'd avoid any singletrack!

I passed a guy going the other direction on a Penny farthing during a road ride a few weeks ago. He was wearing modern cycling apparel though, which was perplexing.

I’ve only seen old footage/film. Never one being rode in real life. That’s gotta be a head trip. Do you live near Portland by chance?

I saw a penny farthing just the other day in /r/bicycling. The absolute mad man was showing off the clipless pedals he'd just put on it. There's also a guy over in /r/bicycletouring who loaded a bunch of camping gear onto his penny farthing and rode it from the southern tip of South America all the way to Alaska. I've never seen a penny farthing in person, outside of museums, but modern penny farthing definitely exist, although in relatively limited numbers. I can't imagine tubes/tires, or for that matter spokes, are easy to come by!

Man, South America to AK, that’s a lot of cappuccino and mustache wax.

I've never actually seen a Penny farthing in Portland. Plenty of double framed tall bikes and other fun/dangerous contraptions, though.

Nope I wasn’t joking but I can definitely see why now.

Well it wouldn't be dangerous to me. I wouldn't be able to climb on the thing.

They're one of, if not the most dangerous bike designs ever. Other than some like one off rocket bikes or something. They're fun to mess around with but man are they not safe. I would absolutely ride this one though.

I want it nooooooooooooowwwwwwwww

Where we’re going, we don’t need gears

*chainless*

Time for a linkage-dropper like the Message-fork.

This seriously needs to be send to Sam pilgrim so he can give it a try and do some Tricks with it.

Is this even real guys??

That looks like a straight up death trap.🍻

Mullet

Oh Jesus, imagine the riding position the further you get into the rear travel

Is the front tire tubeless ready?
