Wrenchmonkees is exactly what we are looking at, but again I am trying to offer a lower priced option for people who can stretch to a £4k build but not a 10000Euro build.

Working on a customer bike is a way of keeping costs down. I could buy the bikes and try and sell them complete, but I wouldn't be able to source bikes at a price to keep the final price competitive.

Those bikes that are worth working on are sat in people's garages, rather than on eBay at an inflated price. The cost of buying a decent SV to push out would push the price of the final bike up by almost £2k.

Again, a reason of doing it this way is that I want to put out beautiful, well made machines. Not any old trumpet that started off as a rusty shed.

This is another reason that I don't want to offer kits. I want people to see a bike with my name on it and even if they don't like the style, can at least appreciate the quality of the build.
