Faster than an Elsinore and more unreliable than a Sachs.

I agree , although that restoration is not exactly politicly correct and is missing some of it’s bona-fide originality. Nevertheless that’s as pretty as anything I have ever seen(with or without tits).
I have some bueat pictures of one of supposedly only nine Wheel-Smith creations ever produced, they are buried some where in my box of wires and chips n shit I will endeavour to look deeper later on tonight.

I am buried deep in engine and bike builds for this season at the moment Mark, but my goal is to produce one of these for the 2011 race season that will put that currently correct statment on its proverbial ass ::) Just hang on for another year :D

In the eye of the beholder, I think I like the one that David first posted more ?
I think this one has to grow on you.

I believe this is a resto of one of nine prepared by Wheel Smith Industries.
Nearly as tempting as "Seven of Nine"  :P
