Modern Reproductions?

I was visiting with a friend yesterday who is a master machinist/fabricator. He is deep into a crazy project of fabricating 10 Excelsior Henderson board track racers. He started with a photograph and a piece of engine casing and has sold 3 of them already. They run! They are $150,000 right now and like a limited edition print they are priced higher as they sell out.

We started talking about the bike biz and the value/price of current hand built bikes and then about reproducing vintage bikes.

I have lot's of ideas about bikes that I would love to have but I am curious what you would love to have a "New" one of. Not so much the brand names and logos but the angles, materials and ride that you would die for. Maybe it is modernized to take a mix of newer gear?
