Go to the link at the bottom of the first post.

The whole front end in probably DS7/R3 - 8inch TLS common to YDS3/5/6 YR1/2/3 etc. The chrome dust covers suggest DS7.

The fram is standard AT/CT1. The only curiosity is the alloy thingiebob between the two down tubes below the head :o :P.

I love how little there is of it.

If they've got a 200 class, it would probably be competitive - the owner does claim that the major races were all won by "Similar machinery".

Front hub looks bigger than DT1.

What diameter are the R5 forks? They look more like 35 or 36mm tubes... ;)

What's the story with the Webco frame brace? Wouldn't it be more effective if it was placed midway between the gusset and the front motor mount?

Thought you would ;D. I love the minimalistic look on all bikes 8).
