#FF: UK Contemporary Artist, Tobe Welsby's "The Monster Bike"!!!


Known as "The Monster Bike", this giant sculpture based on a Royal Enfield Motorbike, might just be the largest bike in the world! Created by United Kingdom contemporary artist Tobe Welsby, the Bike currently resides in the town of Calne, UK, but is in need of a new home/owner, as of 2013. So (as far as we know) the Bike is for sale! If you're interested in owning the piece or displaying it on the grounds of a sculpture garden, or having as a museum display, please do not hesitate to contact Is This The Future!



Made with 7 tons of steel, and consisting of 3,000 ft. of scaffold tube and 2,500 scaffold fittings, this 26 ft. long, 15 ft. high MONSTER BIKE, took the artist around 1,500 hours to construct over a period of 1.5 years. Here is a short video displaying its placement in the UK for its first reveal!
