Amazing Ken Evans Bike featured @ Fifth Battery
Daniel "Gypsy" Licastro built up this Ken Evans bike to feature in the Biking Brisbane exhibition (we decided to extended its time in the spot light) . The frame was built by Ken Evans (once owned the the Fifth Battery family) late 1980s for Dean Woods, who used it as a pursuit bike in the Australian cycling team. For more photos check out this. Thanks heaps Gypsy & Gear Brisbane for making it possible.
