1979 (maybe 1980) Patterson Anderson Avalanche built like Richie Anderson's 1979 bike, but blue instead of red.

fookin lovely build dude
guessing the huge chainring was to compensate for the speed of the old downhill tracks, but what was the idea behind the diff size rims?

You got me and Richie has no idea, either. He was only 12 at the time and his dad built his bikes. Apparently his dad was a bit of a tech wiennie and came up with the set-up. The 51T paired with a 19T rear (Richie ran a 19T, I have an 18T.) isn't so high really. A bit taller than 44-16. He also ran 180 cranks--and he was pretty small at the time.
Why the bigger rear wheel? No clue, but I do think that and the large chainring led the his using the one-off frame he had with the center-pull brakes mounted on the chainstays. If you run the center-pulls under the seatstays, as was popular at the time, the brakes rub on the chain. That said, running them as I am works fine, so not sure why he did that, either.

Really nice build. Quirky as hell but cool as hell at the same time
Love the nickel finish.

51/19 equates to about 43/16, the slightly taller 1 3/8 rim makes it nearly the same as 44/16 on a 20x1.75 rim

the bigger rear wheel may possibly have been to fine tune the gear ratio. i've seen it done here in the UK back in the 80's when you can't get the desired ratio with a 20" wheel. slower gates/acceleration but higher top end once rolling & the 180mm cranks may have been to compensate for the gate/acceleration issue.
