I have a yellow gitane mini pennyfarthing. No pictures as of yet, but I got it a yardsale a few weeks ago and no-one I have shown it to has seen anything like it. It has a 700 in the front, and a 350a in the back can freewheel, and due to the small size of the front wheel has an orbiting chain with some big sprockets on the front.

Does anyone know anything about this ie when it was made, what it was called, how many of them whats it worth, and where I can get parts?

thanks
greg

A penny farthing with a chain and sprockets?????

It doesn't just have cranks bolted to the front hub?

Got some pics?
