This is what the spokes may look like underneath the disk. The for sale grey bike is offset less but would still be oval at speed. Putting on a smaller sprocket the crank makes it easier to ride.

I have always been afraid of clown bikes... but I like these.

I'm not familiar with the term "clown bike" -- what makes a "clown bike?"

But I like the mini-bike in your avatar - here's mine:

Clowns ride this type of bike in parades & circuses, the rims are laced off center so the bike bronco's up and down, in the pics of fork & frame you can see how much the offset is. oh ya, I do vintage minibikes.

I can see what you're referring to but I'm not familiar with a clown bike, I've never seen one? I looked on youtube but only found videos with the very small bikes that clowns ride.

As you likely know, my mini-bike is no classic, it's a chinese Doodlebug with a Harbor Freight engine -- but it does have that classic look, that's why I built it. Among others, I had a Bonanza when I was a kid. Fun stuff. You at OMB too?
