Moth Attack looks great. The "Mothra" is priced at $2,600.
I priced another similar "sprinter-friendly" steel bike at just under $3,000. Those make my $1,500-ish Tiemeyer seem like a steal.

He could give you the front.center & wheelbase you want while are at it (since I *know* you have opinions about those)
Or, I hear Stoemper is making bikes these days? (you gotta like rad paint schemes tho)
Who is "JTW"?
Yes. I have LOTS of opinions!

That is great to hear! At $1,000 ($1,250 shipped to the US) for a complete bike, that's an amazing value. Who needs aero tubes?
