VERY cool, Bowers! Is that a rebuilt original, or a new version of a high-wheeler? Looks like a looong ways down if something goes south during a ride.

It's a new version, it's mostly aluminum, which makes it much lighter then the originals where, plus it has the brakes on the back wheel, and a hub that is not fixed, so it lessens the chance of taking a header, unless I hit something: (fast forward to 2:37)

Didn't look like the bikes were going that fast until that header; then it was OW!

Still doubt you'll see one of those on a BMX track anytime soon.
Interesting to see the evolution though.
