    Anyhoo don't forget to add to calendar 19th May, 27th July, and 31 August.

    Technically it's just an enlarged hollow hub bike. Hubless use a few rollers etc to avoid having a bearing concentric with the wheel axis (hub). It does look mint regardless though.

    No, well maybe a little more, but the "front" sprocket here is proportionally bigger too, so the final drive ratio remains the same and the "wheelie"ness of the bike remains the same too.

    Wonder how much hassle tyre changes are?
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    Wasn't/isn't there a hydraulic powered hubless 'sports-ish' style bike being built in some ones garage (overseas)? Pretty sure I've seen it on here.
