I fear for my fingers around this thing.

That is cool as hell. The chain and sprocket definitely looks like a weak point, but still pretty ingenious use of an old saw. I also agree, I would not want my fingers/hands anywhere near that thing.

Having now finished the video that things is really cool.

Crazy, thats old school thinkin... For one or two, forget about fingers( you have 10 of them) You only have one face an neck. Bein that close to the cable would be nerve rackin.

Cool find. Its almost could be somethin 4speed came up w/ one of his past lives...:cheers:

This thing looks scary to be around it, but the craftsmanship on the little details like brake, clutch, tensioners... it's just amazing.
