The hub that originally rested inside the spokes of Wally Thurow's high-wheeled penny farthing bicycle sits in front of Thurow's bronzed statue likeness holding the original bicycle in the workshop at the inBronze studio in Mt. Morris on Wednesday, September 3, 2014. Bronze pieces of the infamous bicycle were cast from the orginal which the statue was holding to make sure his arms and grip are correctly placed. The bicycle will be pieced together after a bronze plate of the original wheel hub arrives from Mark Gibson, owner of MG Mechanical Contracting in Woodstock.
