Welcome to high wheeling in Japan, on this blog I'll be posting stories related to the high wheel bicycle also known as the Ordinary, Penny farthing or in the Japan the Daruma Sha . I'll also be including information on where you can buy a high wheel bicycle or where you can purchase parts to build your own like I did back in 1994. If you have any questions related to high wheel bicycles please contact me anytime.
Wow looking great Don. I'm still building my truing jig not as accurate as yours as I built mine in wood very roughly. I figure I'll get it pretty close then take it to the jig at the workshop to finish it off.
Hi Aaron , it takes quite a while to get a large wheel perfectly round and true and I think it's almost impossible to build a wheel of this size to perfection so if you have a slight wobble in it don't get to worried about it as it will look great once finished.
