| 1238339 | 2011-10-18 22:34:00 | Just be careful not to melt the lycra | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1238340 | 2011-10-18 22:36:00 | That did cross my mind Gary - it is likely that thing would generate quite a lot of heat, too close to the seated area for comfort... | John H (8) | ||
| 1238341 | 2011-10-18 23:57:00 | The lycra melting would be the least of my worries!!! Ken ;) |

| 1238343 | 2011-10-19 00:10:00 | It has a set of pedals and a five gear box, so you should be able to stay on the bike and spin the gears if you run out of wood/coal! | John H (8) | ||

| 1238345 | 2011-10-19 00:17:00 | Just keep your legs shaved johcar, and she'll be apples! Hmmm, I wonder where the spare wood and coal goes? Does it have a tender like Thomas the Tank Engine? | John H (8) | ||
| 1238346 | 2011-10-19 01:22:00 | Says he used a boiler from a model steam train, I would have made a train/boat or more conventional transport device than I bike If I was lucky enough to get hold of any steam bits :p Thought i'd won some parts of trademe for a few small stationary engine parts, running at $62, checked back later and it had gone to $153!! He'd be better selling the thing haha :D | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1238347 | 2011-10-19 01:29:00 | Judging by that small photo, they are good quality parts as well. | John H (8) | ||
