Hi
What a fabulous project. I would have loved to possess the skills to make such a beautiful 'bike. Remember, folks, it's not just the designing/building - it's gotta LOOK right too! "M" has absolutely nailed that as well - the seat, the tank, even the colour.
Why not set up a line making these, M? Plenty of old RD engines kicking around...
My hat off to you, Sir.

its basically a foale frame, but made from chromoly. frame alone (4 total were made similar, recently) is between 2500-3500. I got the 1st one as i designed it.
i've had valuations of that bike from 8500 to over 10k. I have no idea, i think thats ridiculous but then again, i built it so...i do know its the lightest street legal rd i think ever built using stock wheelbase/basic frame geometry.
this is a shade under 30 lbs. the man who built it works now for pratt and miller as a prototype manager, we used to work together building skunkworks military stuff.

its not flashy but its all business.
