Interesting bike. Not my cup of tea, but a cool build none the less.

There were great discussions in a previous thread on this ebay bike.  410lbs is pretty light for this bike.

Personally, I have a hard time with a loop frame engine, and no iconic loop tank.  But that’s just me.

This thing is pretty sweet, and im usually not inspired by loop-based cafe jobs.. The bike doesnt lend itself to that style (in my opinion).

This one tho,,,,  its very cool. I like what they have done here, but why no big bore kit if you're hopping it up, rebuilding the entire engine, and you have the brakes for it??

In any case, I would love to have it! Really dapper little custom here.

I agree.  That's why I'm building one heavily influenced by the two factory Record bikes.  Most major parts are now here or on the way.  Now I just need more spare time and money....

I Kind of like the overall build and it "sounds" well done. Who was the builder, Ethridge?
