About the flipbook above:

You may have seen some photos of this tall bike floating around the internet these past few days and we decided to put together a little bike check featuring all of the parts we ended up using to make it happen. The hardest part to make this bike a reality was having a solid steering mechanism (we ended up having to use 4 headsets) and getting the right sprocket size combos to get the chain tension right through out the whole drive-terrain. The end result is a ridiculously tall bike with a lot of parts and a top wheel that rolls backwards when the bike is rolling forwards.

A huge thanks goes out to Rob at CM Speed for doing the welding for us!

Headsets are seperated by what is basically a large spacer. A section of fork leg, cut to size.

JC/PC pedals….Soon..

If you crash, its a long way down.

Ахиллес – это прототип нашего Кощея. Чтобы он стал неуязвимым, в детстве его мать окунала в священную реку, держа за пятку, а у Кощея мать видать построже была.
