Ok... Who’s responsible for this?

+1. I found the gearbox interesting too. It looks like the crank drives the three "suns", the "planets" drive the chain ring, and you select the gear by locking one of the outer rings in place, if I've got it right. Nobody can claim they copied Sturmey-Archer!

I first heard of these a few years back and always wanted to play with one, just never made the purchase! They are certainly unique!

Did a little work on this one tonight. Needed to get a brake on it so I could experiment with it more. Took a page outta the original builders handbook.

Removed the Dana. It needs repairs. I’ll get to that eventually when I find another one.

Threw a pixie sprocket on it to see what it would be like. It does wheelies now! Instant favorite in my fleet!

The Tokheim is super cool and functions flawlessly. Absolutely love it and looking forward to implanting that unit on a better frame.
