    A replica of one of the most revolutionary bikes ever made for sale.

    Imagine popping up for a Sunday ride on this. "New bike, yeah, so wha..." :pac:

    Interesting how much it will reach.

    Is that the bike with the washing machine bearings as the bottom bracket?

    That is a very good question. As this is a replica, it is hard to know exactly...

    Why are we calling it a replica?

    This bike does not look exactly as the original Old Faithful and was probably made to comply with UCI rules, which states that there must be at least two versions of every bike used for an hour record attempt for the record to be valid. Someone must have built that spare bike for Graeme. Not sure if he knew the rule existed.

    I am so tempted - it could take pride of place in my proposed new training facility ... (wonder what the reserve is?)
