Master Gravity Esquire

BUILDER:

Limp Jimmy, co-builders Nancy Porker and Small Boat Alert.

DESIGN:

It started as a drunken, silly idea... no surprises there. Specifications included a double tallbike to carry half a tonne of cargo, and fit (1) a DJ, 500W PA system, generator and smoke machine; or (2) a fancy leather reclining VIP chair (as seen below); or (3) several kegs of beer; or (4) Nancy's Webber BBQ and plenty of iced beer.

BUILD:

It had to be ready for Skid Mark's Carillon Ride Party, so many cold and lonely nights doing battle with beer, steel and power tools. I made it JUST on time for the party (which may have fully flopped without Master Gravity), which got a touch out of hand when the ever-spirited Nudge took one of the halves (The Master, from memory) and ran it into a stone wall at speed, in the dead of night.

NOTES:

I was sitting at The Bike Tardis about to start building this thing, when I asked myself a simple question: "What the bitchin'-Bob am I gonna do with a double tallbike when it was done?". That's when I decided to make it so that you can seperate them with a spanner — yes, that was a good idea, though we have only seperated it once, 'cos it's proven to be a pretty handy cargo mothership.

MOST MEMORABLE RIDE:

In October 2005, Master Gravity Esquire took line honours in the 2005 MONT 24-hour mountain bike race, recieving national coverage! — FARK, we messed with the odd head or two that weekend!!
