Build your own Penny Farthing Kit
These extensive kits were put together after receiving demand for the parts and materials for people to build their own Penny Farthing. many components aren't readily available and require a high volume and large investment to produce, we have gone to great length to design our rims, castings and specialised tubing. To build your own Penny Farthing and weld these parts together, you will need to be proficient in using a TIG, MIG or Stick welder with 312 or Chromo welding rods as well as fabrication and general tools. This is a high quality kit to produce a truly authentic style highweel without having to compromise with inadequate material. The kit includes as listed below:
Rims rolled to your size, ovalised and tapered frame tube, curved to fit the size rim you choose, curved and tapered blade pieces to weld together for the front forks, traditional style internal headsets, pivot non, tapered bushes, headset neck, bearing holders, front hub shaft, spacer and axles, cranks, spokes cut and threaded to length, handlebar parts, leather hammock seat, seat brackets, seat spring, rear fork, mounting steps, rear hub, bearings. Please note components may vary.
