here it is, ready to ride down to faro.

worth all the blood sweat and tears just for the smile the owner had when he came back after the first ride

I don't know what I like the most, the mental lightning bolt bars or the floating Photographer! :D Very nice bike. I like the rear wheel paint job, it's a nice touch.

the reason for the floating photographer is the `erizo patent anti-gravity deviceī

drop a slice of bread and butter, and it lands butter side down, right?

drop a cat, and it lands on itīs feet.

butter a cats back, drop it and see what happens....ANTI GRAVITY!!!!!

i simply slipped a buttered cat into his camera bag :D :D

I hadn't even spotted that.. some really nice touches for a clean lined chop. Riding position looks good as well.

Due to the Shroedringer effect, placing the cat in a bag may negate the effect...

Best let the cat out of bag before attempting zero-g..

:D

NB - Then again current theory says that you could have best of both worlds where the cat is both floating and not-floating, this may cause sickness and another bag ( or straight run to the toilet) may be needed...

Nice bike BTW.

no, they were built to our specs by `mean streetī in the states. they have the basic model (these ones are `gothic up front springersī) and they set them up specifically for the lockstops, brakes, and other stuff you are going to use.

superb quality, great service, and with the dollar/euro exchange rate, great price.

yep, prepared by arlen ness. itīs brutal!

the rear is a standard custom chrome jobbie, but painted by angus, the front is a 120 spoke vortex. dunno if theyīre still available.

I don't mind that, but - no offence, Erizo - I don't like the way the cables swoop round like a bow string (then again, I don't like zeddy bars). Then again, only one person's got to like the bike, and that's the owner.

Real nice paint, though. Is the seat painted?

the bowstring effect is due to needing a clutch cable 6" longer to fit into a clamp, and not having enough time to get one through. it will be solved soon though, but not in time for faro.

the seat is cast aluminium from a stool nicked from one of the spanish chat show studios. yep, itīs painted, but the owner has a cushion to fit onto it for en route comfort.

the paint is great. angus paints beautifully, and his airbrush work is very good

Cool. The cushion is good - not 'cause of the rider's comfort, but so it doesn't wear away the paintwork!
:D

Despite the fact i get a numb bum and pins and needles down my legs just looking, that is one sweet machine.
I'm not a lover of angular but suits this design perfectly.
Love the wheels - 120 spoke fronts cooool, and detail on rear rims is classy.
Lucky you live in a country where you get enough good weather to really enjoy it.

Have fun!

Nice bit of work that mate :D

Just been reading what Blue wrote about the cables n' all that ..s'funny coz I was discussin with Yoda at the NCC Ace Cafe bash, that everyone going for internals now ..which DOES look cool and I do like it, but when every bike has internals there will come a time when it looks cool to show them again .. I reckon :) ..

Nice bike wish it was mine :D :cool:
