"
Treacle" is a modern day version of a velocipede
that were popular in days gone by. It is based on
the large size fully carved rocking horse and is fitted
with a blonde real horse hair mane & tail and
a " C " style saddle and bridle of black
leather with nickel plated buckles and fittings. The
rear wheels and steering mechanism were hand built
to fit and took quite a long time to finalise the
construction issues involved. This prototype has taken
approximately three years to evolve from the original
" brain wave " to being ridden in our local
Santa Claus parade on December 20, 2002. For those
interested, I will be offering made to order velocipedes
in the near future.
