Look for where the spokes meet and you'll find the hub.

- HankB99 3y agoAnd speaking of spokes, that's what provides the strength in a traditional bicycle wheel. That allows for a fairly lightweight rim. Without the spokes a much stronger (and heavier) rim is required. This is an interesting exercise and beautiful result but I wonder if it is more a work of art than anything practical. Aside from the impracticality of the pennyfarthing configuration the pennyfarthing was replaced by something called the safety bicycle for good reason. (The safety bicycle is the most common configuration used today.)
