How about M. Goventosa de Udine monowheel? He patented it in 1931, so it should be public domain now, comrade.

The least used frame colour is mauve and the least used design is one trialled in the early 80s where the rider was mounted upside down inside an enlarged frame triangle.

That's a colourful looking chap right there.

Back onto the subject of frame designs, I've modded my bike to allow a trusted friend to enjoy my ride with me:

I've found a really handy wheel design that no-one seems to be using. The idea is that by adding some extra weight (bad!) that is movable, you can set up the spokes to allow gravity to give you free speed (good!). There's always more weight on one side than the other and thus the wheel moves itself!

Don't they like to be called Bicycles of Collor these days, or BOC?

Munge, send me those wheels and I'll true them up for you. They appear to be vaguely round

Sorry, no can do. They are a new spokeless design under secret development. Which thinking about it might explain the problem with rim stiffness.

They would be stiffer with green large flange hubs

Nonsense!

 

Red, small flange hubs are much stiffer. I don't have any personal experience of using them, but I read it on the internet so I insist you do what I say.

 

In all seriousness though... Does anyone know what the best plate carrier for riding in the Cotswolds is?

I've come up with a reddish-green base colour with yellowish-blue highlights, but it just seems impossible to get the colours to display on a computer.

@JEMVisser - send me your address and I'll send you my sketch.

Can't we talk about plate carriers and flatbed trucks?
