It features standard metal bicycle tubing and full-size lugs to form the frame, which has been proportionally reduced in size. There is no headset, but a head pipe to which a straight handle bar is brazed; on the rear set, the straight handle bars are brazed to the saddle pipe. Regular saddle pipes have been cut down and the leather saddles, probably by Brooks, trimmed roughly to suit the monkeys. The crank wheels are cut from a flat steel plate to suit the cranks and 'rat trap' pedals. Reynolds chains have been used, but reduced in length.

The remaining components, disc wheels, cranks, pedals, seat, chain, etc, were made by Campagnolo, of Vicenza, Italy; this company is a sponsor of the Olympic cycling team. The mass of the bike is 5 kg. The conventional tubular frame has been replaced by a composite monocoque shell made of carbon fibre which is scientifically shaped to reduce aerodynamic drag. The conventional handle bars have been eliminated, and instead carbon fibre handlegrips are attached directly to the wheelforks. This feature provides extra strength between the seat and pedals, where the rider's power is exerted. The sweeping aerodynamic lines of the Superbike combine with the lightweight carbon fibre shell to enable the bike to travel at a given speed with the exertion of five percent less power when compared to a conventional tubular framed racing bike. The use of the carbon fibre construction enables any shape to be formed with maximum strength and minimum amount of material. This is why carbon fibre is used so widely in the space programmes and Formula One motor racing.

The wheels may have been replaced. The cranks and pedals are not original and are recent additions from the early 20th century. The Michaux-type Velocipede, of which this bicycle is an example, combines the round backbone and rear forks in the one forging, running diagonally from the front socket to the rear axle. The saddle, comprising a padded leatherette cover over an iron alloy base, is bolted to the long, single, leaf spring backbone of the bicycle by a pair of curved stays from the rear axle. A lever shoe brake acts on the rear wheel and is operated by rotating the polished wooden hand grips on the handlebars which turn the central bar. This activates the brake by tightening a length of metal wire, which is thought to have replaced the original chain, which runs from the centre of the bar, under the frame to the rear wheel. There are curved leg rests projecting over the front wheel for raising the feet from the fast revolving pedals while coasting downhill. The bicycle is finished in black/brown paint, the timber wheels are stained dark brown. -1 Bicycle -X MAAS for storage, shares with B728 NA NA NA NA Bicycles|Transport-Land http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/?irn=240501 https://collection.maas.museum/object/240501 NA NA NA NA NA """This text content licensed underCC BY-SA.""" 213413 B2578 Lamp, bicycle, battery operated bicycle lamp, rectangular upright wooden body, plated fittings, single circular reflective light, top and rear carry handles, British Ever-Ready Specialities, England, [1910] (OF).

With the dwarf style, the front wheel is not as large as the ordinary bicycle, the saddle is placed further back than the ordinary and the pedals are lowered by pivoting them on the ends of levers which are mounted below the front wheel hub. These levers pivot at the front ends to lower the extensions of the front forks. The mid points are connected to cranks by short articulated links. The foot action follows an oval instead of a circle. The bicycle is fitted with a spoon brake which is activated by a twist grip lever on the right grip of the handlebar and works on the front wheel. The straight handle bars are fitted with pear-shaped horn hand grips. There is also a trouser guard but no saddle is fitted. -1 Bicycle -X MAAS stand (shares with B1265) NA NA NA NA Bicycles|Transport-Land http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/?irn=207249 https://collection.maas.museum/object/207249 1040 mm 610 mm NA NA NA """This text content licensed underCC BY-SA.""" 207243 B1262 Bicycle and MAAS stand, Tandem safety, coupled steering, pneumativc tyres, tangential spokes, front wheel cable brake, sprung leather rider's seat, pedals have rubber grips, finished in black and gold paintwork, [England], c. 1895 (OF). ...chain dri B1262 """Bicycle and MAAS stand, Tandem safety, coupled steering, pneumativc tyres, tangential spokes, front wheel cable brake, sprung leather rider's seat, pedals have rubber grips, finished in black and gold paintwork, [England], c. 1895 (OF). ...chain drive sprocket.

The seat tube is curved and crosses the main tube, which joins the steering head to the rear forks, at right angles to provide extra strength. This gave the cross-frame frame design its name. An unusual system of stays helps to strengthen the bicycle. A small stay braces the seat tube immediately below the seat, a pair run down to the base of the seat tube while another pair extend to the back forks. The bicycle also features a plunger style brake lever on the handle bars with a spoon acting on the front wheels, two front forks with a footrest for going downhill, mudguards on both wheels, and a sprung leather saddle.

It has a rear wheel of twenty inches in diameter which also has a black solid rubber tyre and a steel rim with a cast nickle-plated hub on ball bearings with a centre axle. The frame is steel tubing with forks for the rear wheel with nickel-plated steel rim with spokes and pedals of white rubber. Thirteen missing spokes were replaced by the Museum in 1980. Some of the existing spokes appear to have been replaced earlier and are not the original ones. The bicycle is driven from the front wheel. The hub is connected by two chains, one each side of the front wheel, to a lower set of cogged wheels to which the pedals are attached. There are two small holes above the front wheel bearings, these are for foot supports so that riders could lift their feet off the pedals when travelling downhill. In many respects the bicycle resembles an ordinary or penny farthing bicycle, with the same type of tubular frame, solid rubber white-coloured tyres and a rear mounting step. The bicycle was originally painted black with nickel-plated hubs, bearings, cranks and various fastenings. There is evidence of green paint on the pedals but on no other parts.
