Part of the appeal is the hunt. It’s not all that easy to find American made parts and the end result is a bike that is unique. And some of those American parts are superior to their foreign counterparts.

Another part of the appeal is to have a bike that is unique. There are no other bikes on the planet like the two above. There are few that are even “like” the bikes I posted above.
