Someone mentioned the old style 5 balloon bike that I think I first saw in a Michael Decker book many moons ago.
It was a little like this but with no saddle, the saddle makes it six balloons.

I changed it about a little to pull the centre section up so the Goldenrod sat level on the wheels.

So I was trying a few different things, was trying to keep the figure of eight around the wheels on the bike and
making the wheels a better fit as in previous bikes they are just a push in fit and do pop out pretty quickly.
The Goldenrod might have looked better in Black?

I made the bikes all at the same time, well one after the other..... not all at once. I did like the look of the fuller wheel rather than just the loop.

Changed the handle bars to 160's so more in proportion.
