SEXIEST bicycle I've EVER SEEN!!! $10K+ EZ!!! thank you for sharing!!!

:eek: Youre very welcome and thank you for the compliments.
I must say though for an Original its pretty neat, but the customs brought in here and created by many of the members are.. Unbelievable. Swing on over to the forums for the old "RRBBO" events over the last few years. Now THAT is drool worthy ;)
