Nicely done. The designer is artful and the execution is tops. I kinda want a tall bike now.

When do we get to see a ride through the tunnel :wink: :wink:

That's it!
You're Dr. Seuss!
Can I hire you to show up at my daughters first birthday party??!! :)

I love it! VERY clean application. And based on the thread. Very few setbacks. You have to be extremely happy with it.
I'm inspired to "GO TALL" now.....

If you need a chain tensioner, maybe you could try and make your extra crank/jack shaft adjustable.
Good looking vehicle, this thing makes a tallbike look like serious transport.
My guess on the wheel size is 24".

I go to work for a day and all these nice things said about me behind my back. Thanks all.

It is cool. 8)
Like butter.
Dr.Seuss?.......birthday?.......I've have the icing!
26" wheels, using a BMX freewheel for tension.
Dang this bike is serious transport.
Reinvention? They were first work bikes. Now it's a designer drug! :shock:
I wish you all double high tall bikes for Christmas! :mrgreen:
