Could anyone point me in the right direction ?
I've recently came across an article on the web
http://www.hadland.me.uk/page15.html
which mentions that Medwin Clutterbuck, the CTC Consul for Sussex,had two small-wheeled cycles built by F.W.Evans of London. On the first of these he toured the Alps, Dolomites and Norway, often on poorly paved roads. In England he covered up to 200 miles (320 km) in a day. Half a century later he still considered his second Evans-built small-wheeler "the epitome of what a touring machine should be".
If anyone has any details I'd be eternally grateful.
Many thanks

Re:Small wheels
These could not be smaller than 16" surely?
That is what mine are, but the size of wheels getting into wheel chair territory is an interesting subject
regarding the voltage required to propel them, including your own.
Some pram wheels are almost as big as mine ...12"-14"

Re:Small wheels
read the article
in the meantime,
However, over the years some powerful advocates have argued for smaller wheels for regular bicycles. Surprisingly, it is nearly a century since balloon tyres of 12 to 16" diameter (300-400mm) were tried for club cycling in England.2 A Mr. Edmunds who rode a machine with wheels about 12" (300mm) diameter and 5" (125 mm) wide around Birmingham was "a racer of some ability" whose youthful challengers "sometimes received quite a surprise."
