You are correct, big dollar bikes do not go without notice through customs. Plenty of unique details, note the internally expanding seat post? The chain rest, the fender stay mounts, plenty to gander. Alas, the accountant has yet to give me the size of check needed to written soon, so no flights of fancy will be shipped to my door. Fun to look at, the order card for this one would have been fun to read too.
