    So friggin cool. Modern bits but looks 100yrs old. I want one, but may not be able to afford one. What does something like this cost?

      ~15k which seems steep but when over 70% of the bike is made in America, in small quantities, and largely by hand it isn’t cheap to produce. It isn’t for everyone and it isn’t meant to be. Someday I hope we grow enough to start offering a “better” value by getting better deals on parts because of our purchasing power so it is a bit more accessible.

        15k seems ok for something like this, would definitely buy one if the start sending them to Australia 🇦🇺

          While we don’t ship them directly we have customers on the isle of man, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and I honestly want to say Australia. We do use iKon shocks which come from Australia though.🙃

            iKon shocks are great arent they. Had them on my Kwaka, went with Hagon (UK) shocks with a classic shroud for my Trumpy. They also make a good shock.

            Anyway well done, nice looking bike. Be great for taking to a cancer fundraiser ride we have called “The distinguished gentleman’s ride” https://www.gentlemansride.com/

      IIRC The 450 was something like $14k depending on options. Spicy, but for an all hand-built bike (aside from the engine), not insane.

      I looked into them a while back. Not exported to Canada, so I was out of luck. Shame.

        We have a Canadian customer working on importing one themselves. I have no idea what that involves or cost but for the 450’s Canada isn’t out of the equation completely.
