I love Chicara's work.  If I was "Bill Gates" rich I would consider buying this bike.

If I was Bill Gates rich I would take the time to learn to weld(it's still on my short list) and make my own!    [thumbsup]

I wasn't planning on riding it.  I was going to use it as a weather vane on top of my castle.
