I'm quite sure that there is currently less than one gravity biker per county, so you may have to travel! Get yourself a second hand 20" wheel BMX bike, strip of the pedals etc., cut the post holder on the frame flush with the frame, and fix a rear cycle carrier for a seat. Fix carrier by making a braket out of 3 mm alumnium to fix front to frame, and after removing the two flimsy rods that usually attach the carrier to the rear wheel spindle area, make two struts out of 5mm aluminium to replace the rods. Cover carrier with foam and duct tape in place. Turn handlebars forward and doen, or get some motorcycle type dropped bars. This gives you a basic desgn. To go fast you need to get a longer wheel base or eat lotsa doughnuts. Chack out the doctordanger site for photos, and also the gravitybike.com sites.
