  1. Just in time for Christmas!
  2. Well, you are correct, that you don't see a clutch or brake pedal. However, it has a centrifugal clutch and the lever with a wooden handle is the brake
  3. The worst part. Decided to go for a lacquered bare metal finish because, well, it's easy and big fans of the rusty/patina look! Final product. Video soon. Hopefully.
  4. He walks with a limp because he broke his back trying to jump a Winnebago and the front axle squashed him against the roof on landing (ouch). There is a video of it on his channel but I can't watch all the way through, so I think he sticks to filming jumps these days
  5. Sorry for being slack with updates. However, progress is being made and it now has a bonnet, grill and steering. It is also running a Kohler K181 with a 28mm Amal carb. Belts are hooked up, wiring...well, works? Haha it needs tidying. So hopefully I will have some pictures and perhaps a video of a test drive this weekend? I believe it a Peerless 1050
  6. Yeah, there's a 90 box just below the engine
  7. Love it! Its an old machine, is it not?
  8. Lets just say, I'm glad we're not doing 100mph
  9. Update... Milling down the wheel hubs Sizing Finished article Front axle Bonnet ideas Spindle angulations Wheels attached now

  11. Received some cool news!

  12. So..I'm super excited about some news i have received from Spain. That's right Spain! The little bike is gonna be published in a bike magazine from overseas! Mondo Biker Magazine visited way back in May to take a few pics and I hadn't heard anything until yesterday, when Joseba emailed again asking for me to fill a Tech Spec sheet ASAP because he wanted to publish the bike Its a pretty well established magazine too http://mondobiker.com/ shame its in Spanish Here's a sneak peak photo he sent me

  15. Kohler K181? Peerless 1200 series transaxle, Ford Model Y rear wheels...so far I started as a tubular frame tractor, something a little different? But it is starting to be inspired by the Villiers Bike, there are plans to build a trailer to tow the bike I'll try my best Niget!
  16. Thought I would join in with these mysterious home build guessing games
  17. Located in West Stoke, Chichester, West Sussex on September 6th-7th 2014, we got to experience some old fashioned harvesting, and some other interesting vehicles I didn't take any photos of The Villagers' display. You guys know what that looks like
