Seen 4:30 PM, Deddington, Oxon
Make Orange
Colour White
looked like a 224, had triple crown forks, huge rear hub ( poss Alfine ) but I thought it had two or more cogs on the back aswell...And this is the weird thing...in front of the cranks slung under the frame was a casing ( that looked like it was supposed to be ) that looked like a gearbox type thing. Bike was being ridden by a bloke 50+

Possible leccy motor in front of the cranks?

just throwing ideas out there as I've seen conventional gearboxes, although with an oversized read hub but never seen anything like I saw today.

Saw a guy riding one in Whinlatter. He had it coz his knee's were shot and he couldn't pedal uphill for any length of time
