I actually have a Takhion Super Sport - which is awesome, but it doesn't have the integrated fork either. My search continues...

Does anyone know if there are any custom framebuilders that will replicate designs like this? I've been searching for a Takhion Aero nearly forever, with no avail.

For enough money you can have a space ship built... Expect to pay top dollar for one-off custom work. Take typical quality build expense and multiply it time two a couple times. You can buy parts to build a "normal" bike (lugs, fork crown, blades, etc) easily. Having custom machining/metalwork done is quite expensive, also factor in design time/expense.

Figure somewhere the price of a nice used car.
