Shame it's got a front brake specially a V type. Reckon a bit more black would improve it. Black sprocket, seat clamp, stem and pedals.

I reckon the concept is fine (I commute on a 26" BMX) but it's a lot more then I'd pay, and the tall bars must make the riding position really high unless you're 7 foot tall ???

I'd only buy one if they went down a couple of hundred, I don't get why retro bikes are so dear, like the pk rippers, the retro one that is no where near as good for racing as the proper one is dearer!

Just buy a £20 rigid mountain bike and single-speed it.  Then spend the £500 you have left over on something more useful.   :D
