That is just the sort of special I like best. Ironically, I think this is because the attention to detail and choice of harmonious cycle parts actually results in something of a stock bike look and feel. This cohesiveness, or authenticity, makes people stand back and scratch their heads when they are trying to work out just what it is they are looking at.
There are so many lavishly funded custom bikes out there that don't work for me because they are just an assemblage of special, or bling, parts flying in close formation.
