Hi Dan,
In fairness to Bob, I didn't post any company names. You can visit The Wheelmen site at(www.thewheelmen.org/) for details on other builders. Bob does post there on occasion under his ID of Mr. Bob. The bottom line is that there are currently 2 builders in the USA that are building Hiwheel bikes in numbers. If Bob gets his dream out there, it could be a *serious option* to these other bikes.
The Finn Olli made just 1 bike for himself. Pics are on The Wheelmen site. Joff of course is the guy currently riding a hiwheel around the world. He's up in Canada at the moment. My understanding, based on what is on his homepage, is that he makes hiwheel bikes in England. He'll be back home later this year. His bikes are nothing like Bob's copy of the Rudge -- they are a modern interpretation of a hiwheel bike with some vintage details.
