Anyone know where to get classic big wheel parts? I am looking for a wheel and cranks, and the fork. I am doing a project at school where we design and build a bike and I have chosen a big wheel, old style race bike. Parts are hard to find though and any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Search google for "Penny farthing bike," "high wheel bike," or "boneshaker bike"

I imagine he is talking about these 'big wheels',

not these.

6 year plan! This is what happens when you change majors to Mechanical Engineering after already being in college for 2 years, haha. Thank you all for the helpful info. I will check those links out.

Those were so freaking awesome! I was skateboarding when they came out but my little bro had one. I still remember the commercial where the kid comes flying up and jams on the brakes! This is the highlight of my suck day!
