Hello,
Yes, really, it's a fixed gear pencil sharpener. I need the space so it's up for grabs. You never know, soomeone here might want it. Lovingly hand crafted by me in 2006 it's worked flawlessly since, it'll take a blunt pencil and sharpen it before reducing it to a pile of shavings in very little time. It's been so well thought out that it'll even sharpen pencils of varying diameters.
if you want it, just message me and you can have it. Collection only from Horsham, West Sussex. Happy to meet you at the station (direct trains from London Bridge or Victoria). Once you've got it home please make a donation (up to you how much) to the charity that has helped me through my cancer treatment via my just giving page here:

Full spec:
Frame: 1960s Triumph
Fork: Bent
Front tyre: Flat
Chainset: Raleigh cottered with a 1/8" chainring attacked with an angle grinder to enable it to be used with a variety of riveted together scrap 3/32"chains.
Bars: Bit of steel pipe from the scrap metal bin.
Sprocket: Off a 5 speed freewheel again attacked with an angle grinder, bodged on to a bit of steel plate, then welded onto the end of a desk(now handlebar)mounted pencil sharpener.
Handle bar mounting allows for easy chain tension adjustment, just rotate bars forward/back to get correct tension. No need for faffing with tensioners.
