what is this???

i just found this picture randomly... and under the photoshop it looks like an original bike.....

though ive never heard of anything this blatantly ornate before... i guess you could always take your bike to a iron worker to have it "customized"

I love all the little things. Internally routed wiring harness, Stub for the rear brake mount. Integrated rack. Nicely styled fork crown. I'm not too excited about the added ironwork, but the pseudo wings on the front fork do make it look fast. However, the sudden rake on the fork looks unsafe as does the nut holding the rear wheel, which is missing it's washer.

your right, i hadnt really looked at it closely... even though the lugs look plain there are details in almost everything else. I love the rear brake and fork crown and internal wiring for the lights.
