I am sure one or the other had already been featured here (I remember the silver Illusion from m_sasso's latest bomb attack), but I don't remember seeing them together, even if so, recap for the newer readers!
According to the source (instagram @hdak223) all of them are unique.... sweeet.
The beauty of the EGO tubing is well represented. So does the genius of Harada Tetsuro / Samson.

A rare sight even here in Japan, these Samson Illusion funny bike frames were built by @haradatetsuro with the 1000m time trial track event in mind. The frames are all unique one-offs. The two 'kamiyama red' frames were built for Mr Kamiyama himself (a very famous, strong keirin pro rider), and the silver frame was originally commissioned by Inamura San, another famous pro rider.
