I am uncertain as to whether this has been posted before, but I thought some may find interest in it. This site has a collection of bicycles of the motorized variety constructed from parts of various watches. |

Very clever, but as a motorcyclist I find many of those designs completely impossible to be ridden. Wonderful craftsmanship though!

Oo, that's a neat piece of work. Reminds me of a full scale motorcycle bit I saw once, was a front wheel with no axle, instead it was a large brassish planetary gear. I'd post a link but google is failing me.

I'm not sure that is the site, though he does seem to be quite skilled. I'm still hunting for the one I'm speaking of, it wasn't like, a one time art piece. Was a company that sells custom wheels, and it was one of their products.

I would suggest going into the motorcycling blog thekneeslider.com, and searching for "Clockwork". Incidentally, that website is where I found Brass Goggles...
