Penny Farthing | QU-AX

A must-have for every bicycle-fan! The QU-Ax Penny Farthing. This new version has all the modern safety standards - a combination of vintage styling with modern technology.

"This beautiful excuse to don an oversized hat is just the same as the Penny Farthing bicycles of yore, and is a brilliant way of getting around in style. The front wheel is a whopping 36 inches, while the rear wheel comes in at a slightly more reasonable 12 inches, giving you that classic elevated position associated with this most barmy of bikes. "

 The QU-Ax Penny Farthing

Durable steel frame, anti-slip pedals, brakes on the rear wheel and a saddle that has spring suspension for a smoother ride.

 A vintage version

Blockhead Stem IB – Integrated Brake Lever | CW&T

Blockhead Stem IB – Integrated Brake Lever from CW&T, a bicycle stem and brake lever in one. 

"The lever is tucked neatly into the stem and is just long enough for two fingers.  We designed it to be used with a front brake so the cable can be cut really short and straight, eliminating friction within the brake cable housing.

Sometimes it’s nice to ride fixed with a front brake, but brake levers tend to be massive, take up a lot of handlebar space, and have levers that are much longer than they need to be.  Our solution is to make the lever part of the stem.  If you despise your ugly massive brake lever, this one is for you."
