He should put some upside down forks and radial calipers on it.

At least that way it will handle and stop like a modern bike.

Hang on, I'll just ask him.

[paturoa]

Wow nice shed!

[avgas]

[Tazz]

Wow nice shed!

I'd say. GC. Looks like he's even flipped the table with the intention of throwing some nails in it to hang his tools off?

If there are any ladies on the hunt and I had to guess I'd say he's single? Possibly recently? :msn-wink:

If you have to ask then you probably won't be able to afford.

Spent a while looking through the whole site - in awe of his talents. Have to think though - Brodie is making the Excelsior replica using pretty modern tools, autocad, etc. The originals were made in the 1910s-20s with none of that technology

Yes he is also using modern materials, I reckon he is also smart enough to use clever people as well, but love the stuff, love the board track era bikes.They are so raw so singular in purpose.
The guy he mentioned in NZ re the Macchi stuff Greg Thomas is Grumph on KB btw.

When I had to buy furniture there was only one choice. Leather.

That's the kind of project that deserves to go international! There are some very talented individuals in NZ, Ken Campbell is another one.
